Please don't -- we have a place on SF where we have packages, let's
not complicate things. In fact, our RedHat RPMs are NTPL read,
this is what the release notes say:

    Notes: This release is compiled for a fully patched installation of 
           Red Hat Linux 8.0, including (but not limited to) the 
           glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6 errata package. It may or may not work with 
           the original glibc package installed by Red Hat Linux 8.0. 

The problem is that many people build from source, and ./configure
doesn't do the expected thing: detect the requirements for the current
system.
