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.
