I really have no clue at all. Anyone else around with a redhat 7 installed
that can shred some lights on this? I really can't figure out the differences
between the version you compile yourself and the one you install from RPM.

Other than soft issues such as compiler/linker versions. But it doesn't seem
likely that the redhat 7 compiler would generate bad code though, at least
not that would have this odd effect.

Could you show us the configure output from the redhat 7 box?
