I hear you, and this would not be my best choice either.

New issue coming shortly, with the 42.0.8 distribution rpm....

Thanks, all!

Is this a completely clean x86_64 box you're building on? Any i386
packages on it? You could very likely be getting cross-chatter across
library arch versions if not.

<soap box>This is one of the reasons I recommend against doing stuff
like this. You introduce loads more variables into your sys-admin time
vs duties vs system stability matrix. In addition, if you build fresh
on every new box, you can end up with sporadic and unreproducible
problems due to subtle differences.
