   Sorry, I guess I lost track of the snapshots you were packaging.
   
   I think __math.h is the file.  Here is small diff (cut & paste) from 
   2.0.5 to 2.0.7:
   
   *** __math.h205 Sun Mar  8 00:00:29 1998
   --- __math.h207 Tue Feb 24 16:34:38 1998

   	  #define __MATH_H      1
   
   	! #if defined __GNUG__ && \

   	  #undef __NO_MATH_INLINES
   	  #define __NO_MATH_INLINES
   	  #endif

   	  #undef __NO_MATH_INLINES
   	  #define __NO_MATH_INLINES
   	  #endif

   It seems __NO_MATH_INLINES must be defined.  2.0.5 tests for __GNUG__.
   2.0.7 does not, but only checks for __GNUC_MINOR__ <= 7. This would
   explain why 2.8.0 also fails.

   All I am interested _now_ is if the glibc + postgresql packages from
   ftp;//ftp.redhat.com/home/gafton are working okay for everybody...
