I'll take you to mean ./configure settings.

It should be most users can just use:

./configure -q COMPILED_BY="RSM"
make -j16
make check

in the <unpacked tarball directory> as a start.

Maybe you need some of those other configure settings you've previously 
used on your machine, but I'd hope configure would sort out most things 
for you on a standard fedora install. Your Fedora 3.8 is relatively old 
though, so maybe not.

Aside: jr's idea about hard setting the compiler version is worth a try 
too - if things continue to be weird, but I'd try a simple ./configure 
to start.
