Thank you for help! Now, more questions...

1) Is it possible that gnome-core-1.0.1 sources would NOT have this problem?
Last night I was able to run rpm -tb <gnomecoretball> on the 1.0.1 version 
with no error msg.

2) How do I use egcs? Is there some simple .configure or make options that 
can be changed to achieve that?

Thank you,
