As a followup to my own posting (sorry), last night I managed to build 
myth SVN version 7389 after using the perl lines in Axel's RPM specfile 
to change /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 everywhere (thanks Axel!), and that 
version is working OK with mythmusic & mythgallery (including OpenGL 
transitions).

I _tried_ to rebuild the mythtv-0.18.1-114.rhfc4.at.src.rpm file, with 
"--with debug", but the compilation died during the rebuild (sorry, I'm 
at work now and don't have the exact error messages).

Axel, could you possibly set up a debug build for x86_64?  I'd be glad 
to run it and send you the backtrace if you could make it available...
