List the package revisions (rpm -qa | sort > package.version) on both
boxes and compare them.  It is possible you are missing some
development libraries on CentOS, or you have an older version of
libtool.

Also, make sure you perform the exact steps on both.  Is the /home
directory NFS-mounted on both boxes?  Try building in /tmp, to ensure
build fragments from RedHat do not confuse CentOS.

Cheers,
