Essentially rpm --rebuild <sourcerpm>

From man rpm:

Code:
REBUILD AND RECOMPILE OPTIONS
       There are two other ways to invoke building with rpm:

       rpm {--rebuild|--recompile} SOURCEPKG ...

       When invoked this way, rpm installs the named source package, and does a  prep,  compile  and  install.   In
       addition,  --rebuild  builds  a  new  binary  package.  When the build has completed, the build directory is
       removed (as in --clean) and the the sources and spec file for the package are removed.
