Was that library reference supposed to be -L/usr/local/libx86_64 or 
something along those lines?  That's the first problem.

The GCC treat warnings as errors feature defaults to on in SVN versions, 
but defaults to off in the release versions.

It looks like packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in runs its own 
configure line:

CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" ./configure --prefix=%prefix --with-ssl=/usr 
--with-krb5

I'm not sure off the top of my head how Gerald is disabling the warnings 
as errors.  I would think that as long as its done in configure.in, it 
would take effect with the line above when building an RPM.  I'm no RPM 
expert though, so hopefully someone else can provide input.
