This is the only combination that worked. I tried for almost 16 hours so
once I found something that worked I stopped (as you might well imagine).

I dunno from MAC OSX.

Yes I know. We will see how much of what I did is adopted by the
internal folks at RH.

I am running it right now... in fact I am typing this message from it.

I did have that problem initially but not anymore. What I did with the
build fixed it. The problem appears to be that the "creating system's"
libtools do not know anything about /usr/lib64 dir and what I do in the
build fixes it so that the lib's are found and can link properly. The
upshot is that the system was only making static lib's! There were no
.so's being created.
