At the moment, the only tested build environments are RedHat 7.3 (also
used for production builds because this gives best compatibility with
older Linux distributions), and Fedora Core 5.

Other build environments will most likely need some adaptions -
patches are welcome.

Sorry, we don;t have such a list yet. Please feel free to add such a
section to the documentation.

That's always a candidate for build problems ;-)

You are probably using another, so far unsupported Linux distribution
as build  environment.  Please  see  the  log  files  in  the  "logs"
directory  of  your build tree if you can find more details about the
problem.  Patches welcome :-)

Best regards,
