Dear CentOS list

we are a small software company making mostly web driven GIS software. We started to simplify out sysadmin life making RPM packages of most of the GIS software stack. For a dependency issue we had to abandon the upstream 8.1 PostgreSQL and install at least a 8.2 version. Taking the package from Fedora 8 and rebuilding it for x86_64 went smoothly. Unfortunatly the same is not true for i386. It stops with:

checking for collateindex.pl... no checking for sgmlspl... no checking thread safety of required library functions... no configure: error: thread test program failed This platform is not thread-safe. Check the file 'config.log' for the exact reason.

You can use the configure option --enable-thread-safety-force to force threads to be enabled. But you must then run the program in src/test/thread and add locking function calls to your applications to guarantee thread safety. error: Bad exit status from /home/peter.hopfgartner/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.77591 (%build)

RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /home/peter.hopfgartner/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.77591 (%build)

Does anybody have any hint how to proceed?
