I have pulled the upstream binary and compared it to the CentOS binary
... here is the result

Verifying cachefilesd-0.7-6.el5.i386.rpm ...
cachefilesd-0.7-6.el5.i386.rpm OK-PERFECT ref:44133 +/-:0 %:0

That means it is linked to all the same things AND, the OK-PERFECT means
that even the Size reported for the RPM is identical.

If there is a problem with the compile options, it seems that it is
identical in CentOS and the upstream provider's product.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
