Right. We don't support so old a version of Linux. It has been said
that you can make it work by hacking the Makefile to remove the
--version-script stuff. However I question the usage of RH 7.2 which is
several years without support.

Also, 8.0.3 is not a good idea -- perhaps you want 8.0.15, or even a
newer series, like 8.2.6.
