I guess, it is a problem with x86_64 ...
wrong CXX flags ?
EDIT : Like NeddySeagoon said, when I was writing the post !
Have a look in 'gdal.spec' from gdal-1.5.1-5.fc9.
src.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu.../source/SRPMS/
( The spec file is attached as gdal.spec.txt ).
Also please Google .. gdal cxxflags ..
There may be some suggestions.

Compiles with no errors on an x86 Fedora 9.
