If you install openpkg-tool then do ``openpkg build -K gcc'' it will figure
out the current version and generate a script to rebuild it and all its
prerequisites from the proper directories at ftp.openpkg.org. The ``-K''
option tells openpkg to keep prerequisite packages instead of removing them
after the build is complete.

I would try to build from source rather than using prebuilt packages,
particularly since Red Hat has a reputation for library inconsistencies.

The symlink won't be meaningful to OpenPKG as it will have the full path
name in %{l_prefix} which is then hard-coded in many places (e.g. the perl
spitshell headers).
