I guess it becomes a bit fuzzy, especially with these versions. We don't
usually offer any guarantees that older releases will build against more
modern distros, but both 3.1.5 and 3.2.0 crossed that line, with Fedora
builds in two releases (F18/19 and F19/20 respectively).

Do you have a requirement to use these older releases or are you just
offering this data point in case anyone else runs into this?
