We have not had the time to keep that up to date. Fedora is moving very
fast, and FC6-test1 is already out as well.

On another FC5 machine with the same running kernel, run:

rpm -ihv openswan-2.x.y.src.rpm
rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/openswan.spec --define 'buildklips 1'

Note that we are hard working on merging the NETKEY and KLIPS stacks, so
that in the near future, all this hard work about stacks won't be needed
anymore.

Apparently this is the result of a broken sys/queue.h file on Linux. People
have reported inserting the semicolon works for them.
