Fedora is NOT Enterprise.  We do not know what flags are used to build 
Enterprise as the Upstream Vendor uses a inhouse build system.

Note that in the future (Fedora 7) that the build system to build Fedora 7 
will be the same build system used for the Fedora Extras as Fedora Core 
and Fedora Extras are merging and they are working on a more open build 
system.  Since the Fedora Extras build system is opensource then maybe in 
the future one may expect that this info maybe more available.
