If someone contributes RPM packages, using the same GCC and the same
RPM source RPM, then presumably it's possible.

There's a BSD port, so it has proven of enough interest to attract
contributions there. There's not yet a Debian package or an RPM for
one or another of the RPM-based distributions; hopefully interested
parties will find opportunity to build such.

I can appreciate the desire to have some pre-packaged components; I
generally despise the idea of compiling Perl stuff myself as that
tends to turn into a system management nightmare.

It may be that packages will emerge in six months; we'll see. If you
need RHAT RPM packages badly enough, that may be reason to pay someone
to build them.
