the problem comes when we've got an epel build host which create all
packages (linux, windows, etc). in this case i'd like to use (and build)
mingw32 on epel.
You shouldn't do builds based on the host OS packages. If you use mock
then you can use a CentOS/RHEL5 build host, and make mingw packages using
a Fedora 9 based mock config. So no need to actually build anything against
RHEL5 packages
