I somehow find this a strange question to ask to Git people; you may have
better luck asking the question to RHEL folks.

Having said that, one of the reasons the result may not work, off the top
of my head, is that the binary you compiled would expect to link with the
system libraries that are available on your RHEL6 installation.  If your
RHEL5 installation does not have a matching and ABI compatible library to
any of them, the resulting binary would obviously not work there.
