First, I'd download mezzanine from www.kainx.org/mezzanine/. It will solve all that %_topdir-related macro-fu for you. You can also point it at a directory full of SRPM's, and it will rebuild them all for you. You can then install the binaries into a chroot jail and tell mezzanine to build inside that for you. A couple rounds of that and you'll be all bootstrapped and ready to go.
