I don't know if this will solve your problem - but where I use to work, we would do a Red Hat 6.2 install and then chroot to it when there was something we needed to compile that Red Hat 7.0's compiler choked on. The obvious disadvantage to this was that some things needed older versions of libraries when we brought the binary into the RH 7 environment - for those cases, we had a machine that was RH7 but had the older gcc on it in /usr/local - and we would specify that gcc. Perhaps if the problem is Red Hat's glibc (check with the code maintainer - he may know the problem, its possible you just need the makefile updated) you could build an older glibc and install it in /usr/local and specify those libraries when compiling this software? -- Michael A.
