Specifically, some simple AGI script I run to send and receive faxes  
with chan_capi did not work anymore.

Both you and Axel are right about rebuilding the RPM of course.  
Matter of fact I always strongly prefer packages that come from  
(trusted) yum repositories. However, in this special case if I have  
to rebuild the package every time I don't see much advantage over a  
standard source install, which is very quick and simple. I just don't  
want to spend time analyzing a spec file to see which patches are  
applied and, if needed, back them out and build again and see if my  
stuff works again. It would be worth it if I had more than a single  
server running Asterisk.
