Also, if you really need to build your own packages for CentOS 6 instead 
of using those pre-built ones (because you have a custom module or 
similar, as we do for Moonshot), you can always use a docker/lxc 
container, a VM, or even a chroot to start from a "clean" CentOS 6 
distribution, rather than trying to use a build system that has been 
proven to not work.  That will give you and us a way to reproduce your 
build process in case you find an actual bug.
