Sub Tasks

Description
When building on Fedora 9 (or supposedly on many Fedora or RedHat systems) the default format of the hash section has changed and the resulting binaries may not run on systems such as SuSE 10.

This appears to be connected to the change in the default hash style or the somewhat invisible use of the option -Wl,--hash-style=gnu.
Adding --hash-style=both or --hash-style=sysv should fix this.
