There was another thread on this list relatede to webcams (or maybe it
was fedora-devel) that indicated that there was a problem where yum
was installing the kernel-devel package that mismatch the installed
kernels arch (i.e devel.i586 and a kernel.i386) that was causing this
kind of gspca build grief. That might also be something worth
investigating.
