So this is a FTBFS bug (fails to build from source). The package

Fair enough. This is useful information with regards to the utility of
filing similar bug reports in future.
If you need to use the same 0.5.0 version as is currently in EPEL,
you may
need to set up a separate 7.0.1406 (or perhaps something slightly newer)
build environment for this package.
Yes, this is the case and yes, although inconvenient, this is what I
will do. Many thanks for your help with this.
