I tried your binary and rebuilt the source RPM on Red Hat 8.0, and both
seemed to work fine. My only suggestion is to include the "Requires" and
"Provides" portions of the .spec file:

    BuildRequires: XFree86-devel compat-gcc
    Requires: XFree86-libs glibc
    Provides: %{name} = %{version}

I use the apt (for RPM) program from http://freshrpms.net to help maintain
my systems, and getting all the dependencies right in .spec files lets apt 
resolve dependencies automatically.

I won't have more than terminal access to a Red Hat 9 computer until Monday,
so I won't be able to check out your binary on RH9 until then. However, I did try 
to rebuild the source RPM on RH9, and it had a problem. Everything looked like 
it was compiling normally until near the end of the build process:

# rpmbuild --rebuild Squeak-vm-3.4-1bert.src.rpm
...
strip /usr/lib/squeak/3.4-1/npsqueak.so
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip /usr/bin/strip
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/objdump
Processing files: Squeak-vm-3.4-1bert
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files %{buildroot}
getOutputFrom(): Broken pipe

I'm not sure what would cause this or why it would work on Red Hat 8.0 but
not Red Hat 9.
