Math::BigInt::GMP requires Math::BigInt >= 1.87, which is not available in either EL-4 or EL-5. Since it's also a core module bundled with the main perl package, there's not much chance of that changing either.
I suspect that's why the test suite fails too.
%{_fixperms} works all the way back to Red Hat Linux 7 and maybe further (I don't have anything older to hand at the moment).
Even it requires Math::BigInt >= 1.87 for some of the functionalities, it
works for most of them with older Math::BigInt and gets down the 10 seconds
from Net::SSH::Perl when using without Math::BigInt::GMP to ~ 1.5 seconds.
So there's definately an improvement and a reason to have that package at
EPEL. Regarding %{_fixperms}, that's possible, I didn't investigate into this.

Description of problem: Please build latest perl-Math-BigInt-GMP for EPEL 4 and 5. As the %check section doesn't work on EPEL 4 and 5, I'm suggesting the following block to use instead: %if 0%{?fedora}%{?rhel} > 5 %check make test %endif And the %{fixperm} thing maybe doesn't exist on EPEL 4 as well, there could be chmod -R u+w $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/* get necessary. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-Math-BigInt-GMP-1.24-1 Additional info: Please let me know, if you just don't want to be the maintainer for the perl-Math-BigInt-GMP EPEL packages...
