Try
yumdowloader --enablerepo=rawhide --source syslinux
rpm2cpio ../SRPMS/syslinux-3.75-1.fc11.src.rpm | \
(cd $(rpm --eval %{_sourcedir}) && cpio -imd)
rpmbuild -ba $(rpm --eval %{_sourcedir})/syslinux.spec
(assuming, of course, that you have relevant pieces of a build chain
installed and you need in this nasm). Install a resulting package for F9.
I just tried that and it works without any fuss. A mess with rpm2cpio,
instead of a simple 'rpmbuild --rebuild syslinux-3.75-1.fc11.src.rpm',
is caused by an inability of F9 rpm to unpack rpm packages from F11.
You will get "cpio: MD5 sum mismatch" erorr and it does not seem to
be a way to prevent that. Nasty!
