A fully updated  redhat system should be able to compile gnome just
fine.
I woudn't think they'd put togther some half assed system and say "deal
with it".

You didn't see my previous post about he upcoming Alpha cluster that'll
be open to the public? Build it on Alpha and you'll find even more bugs
that wouldn't be so obvious on intel. If it doesn't build on Alpha then
it probably won''t build on any of the more exotic systems ether.
Remember you have to build to be able to debug it :)
