I created a version of whitebox-release
(whitebox-release-3.0-5.1_i386.i386.rpm) so that I could compile several
files that checked for /etc/redhat-release.  It worked for everything I
tried it with.

The rpm provides /etc/redhat-release and /etc/whitebox-release ... so
there is a redhat-release and programs that evaluate redhat-release also
work.

You can download the rpm and see if it fixes this problem as well.  I
have it available here:
