I'm pretty sure Fedora 8 is not x86_64, pointers are still just 4  
bytes in size.  Maybe its some issue of running instead the virtual  
machine on top of 64bit Mac, but that seems a bit obscure.  My guess  
is the default redhat GCC version has some issues, wouldn't be the  
first time I've seen that.  When I get a chance I will build GCC from  
source and give it a try.
