Do we really have to consider RHEL 5, considering that it's on "Extended
Life Cycle Support"[1]? If someone is paying extra for post-Production
support for a "retired"[1] enterprise distro from 2007, then I doubt
that they or their users will be running the latest Emacs, especially a
GTK build instead of terminal-only or another toolkit such as Lucid.
Even if they are, they can probably install a later version of GTK as
well, right?
RHEL 5 also only has GCC 4.1.2; is this enough for Emacs?
FWIW, RHEL 6, which is still in Production phase, has GTK 2.24.
I've attached a patch that bumps both versions and removes obsolete
cruft. Bumping the GTK2 version helps the most here.
