All you would need to do is
Code:
#rpmbuild --rebuild somefile.src.rpm

1) Install the source package using rpm -ivh somepackage.src.rpm. This will place the source files in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and put a spec file in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS.
2) cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
3) rpmbuild -ba somepackage.spec

The binary rpm will end up under the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS directory in one of the architecture directories such as i386.
