Many applications that build or link fine in Fedora need fixing in Mageia because we don't permit underlinking[1] or overlinking[2], and we apply several fixers in configure and brp scripts. We've also designed our flags setup so that you can set a macro to override as needed, so for things like FORTRAN, you can change this easily. I'd like to see these make their way into Fedora.
