I was able to successfully rebuild castor-0.9.5-5.3.el6 in RHEL 6.3. Even if the bug existed in the first place, it appears to be fixed now. Closing.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6 is entering the Production 2 phase of its lifetime and this bug doesn't meet the criteria for it, i.e. only high severity issues will be fixed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ for further information.
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
