That doesn't always work so well. Try building an old openldap src rpm
(say, 2.4.x) in a current Fedora/RHEL environment for fun.

Modern rpm has deprecated stuff, and barfs at your (builddepends), it
has gotten tighter wrt patch application (so patches that applied with
fuzz now barf), and dependencies have moved and mutated in various
ways.

enjoy :-)
