On RHEL6, yes. RHEL5...no. There is an ABI difference between RHEL5 and 6 in
libaudit. There are functions that RHEL5 uses that are deprecated on RHEL6.
This is the reason that there is a 1.8 branch in svn.

Unfortunately, yes you will have significant issues on RHEL5. That said, RHEL6
should be easy. Just use a RHEL6 audit.spec file as your starting point.
