Thank you for spotting this!  It's a result of a bad syntax of the MC
manual.  I have run troff with warnings enabled and fixed them all.

Now the manual reads:

       M-y Moves to the previous directory in the history, equiv╜
       alent to depressing the '<' with the mouse.

       M-u Moves to the next directory in the history, equivalent
       to depressing the '>' with the mouse.

       M-S-h,  M-H  Displays the directory history, equivalent to
       depressing the 'v' with the mouse.

No, it wasn't.  I appreciate that you found time to report it.

Run as root:

rpm -tb mc-4.5.55.tar.gz
rpm -U --force /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/*/mc-4.5.55*.rpm
rm -rf /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mc*

Not very clean, but should work.
