I don't follow...

113-5 all apply patches as part of the build. Vanilla 113 works for me, 
Vanilla 114/115 don't. All I did was to find a XVMC related difference 
between 113/114 and then remove that difference (from the patch that 
created it) in 115, creating a variant 115 binary which worked for me.

I know that the vanilla 115 distro does not work for me.
I know that my hacked 115 distro (with a couple of lines removed from 
the svn patch) does work for me.

I'm assuming that rebuilding a vanilla 115 SRPM would result in a 
vanilla 115 RPM so did not bother with that build.

Is that clearer ?
