fedora9 with its gcc 4.3 doesn't compile nginx 0.6.3x while fedora8 with gcc 4.1.2 does

[Pawel Eljasz]

Hi Andrew,
yes, that is just what you said, or at least author has now issued a 
patch which
adds that inclusion in to ngx_linux_config.h, superbly suggested, thanks

but what still puzzles me, as said earlier I'm not a programmer and 
merely started my acquaintance
with rpmdevtools, so how come that this same source code gets built with 
rpmbuild
on the very same machine that makefile fails to compile???
can you Andrew at least roughly point me?
cheers

ps. file eclosed herewith if anyone struggles with compiling nginx on f9
