You need to either:

1) Use gcc from rawhide

or

2) Edit the spec file and remove the changes that were done to work
   with gcc string merging, prelinking

#1 is recommended, unless this is for a production system, in which case
it is not recommended to use 4.1.0 yet anyway.

I've resolved this bug by making gcc >= 2.96-93 a buildprereq in the specfile.
