Patch was posted to RedHat's bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=115795 This looks like it's related to workers/20728 and workers/20816, except that there's also a change to (if I read it correctly) allow a double leading underscore on the RLIMIT macros. That's also a year old, so why RedHat hasn't included it in any of the several quarterly updates since then, is something of a mystery. I still don't have an answer to why the autoconf perl modules aren't working.
