Hi,
I had a few minor patches which I had sent by using Bugzilla.
I believe I should have sent them to this list instead...
Here's the first (reference 531496 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531496)

configure.in should use 'ld' from $PATH for checking version-script syntax, not hard-coded in /usr/bin/ld
