I found that this link explains it all and
partially works for FC5 and explained below:

http://geda.seul.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=geda:fc4_notes_available_here

1) Just be aware that "packaging" is not standard, i.e. you define
 where the build directory and the install directory will be.

2) gnucap: The problem here is that the CC and CXX environment
 variables has no effect on the configure and generated Makefiles so
 this application builds on v4.0 or greater.  To fix that, you have to
 manually edit the Makefiles in each of the "O" sub-directories and
 change the CCC=g++ to CCC=g++32, run make clean, make, and make
 install when the installer complains and completes this step.  All of
 the files compiles but when it comes to linking all of the object
 files together - it fails with unresolved symbols.  I am using fc5's
 g++32 compat files which might be the reason since fc4's version is
 older than that of fc5.

3) EVERYTHING compiles and builds under FC5 with exception to gnucaps.

Cheers!
Dan
