They are artifact of the build environment (which picks up the libraries that they are here); till 1.5.6.1 I have compiled git and used git succesfully on Fedora Core 4 based dostribution (Aurox 11.1). I am now compiling[1] 1.5.6.2, and so far don't have any problems (now it is at building documentation; it would be nice to be able to use pre-build documentation from SRPM).
