[ewg] OFED-1.4.1 build error in openmpi on RHEL5.3

[Alexander Schmidt]

Hi,

I am trying to compile the OFED daily build (OFED-1.4.1-20090312-0600) on RHEL
5.3, where I hit the following build error in openmpi:

This has already been reported here:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2009/01/5230.php

According to the mail, removing the -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flag from the spec file
works around the issue, will this be done for the next RCs?

I appreciate your comments.
