Unfortunately I can't offer that.
It is really just a mock buildroot, and it should be possible to
recreate the problem with CentOS 4/x86_64.
On Fedora Linux the default mock install has a suitable config (epel-4).
If you're not a Fedora/CentOS person then I could possibly prepare a
VMware image for you.

I don't expect more than that.
