cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-15 causes openldap-2.0.7 to crash on alpha. slapd core dumps. Even sample-server and sample-client from cyrus-sasl do not work. Both packages were tried on RH-7.0 alpha with cyrus-sasl recompiled. openldap-2.0.7 with cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-11 works ok except for gssapi plugin.
Please check if the versions currently in Raw Hide fix this problem. Some of these libraries didn't have -fPIC forced on them originally, and the fixes for this (in both cyrus-sasl and krb5, which the gssapi plugin links against) went in about the time you filed this bug report.
