John,

Could you try substituting:

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/frmts/gif/libungif/egif_lib.c?format=raw

for gdal/frmts/gif/libungif/egif_lib.c and see if that builds?  If so,
please file a bug against GDAL and I'll make sure this fix makes it into
the 1.4 branch too.  I'm guessing that RHEL 5 is removing some deprecated
macros, like S_IREAD and S_IWRITE as part of a cleanup-and-modernize
effort.

Best regards,
