Should > git behave the same on both? If not, why? 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.
