Any reason you're choosing 4.2? I managed to get 4.4.6 to build
on Solaris 2.8 (sparc). It was a bit of an ordeal, as I'm
sure you're finding out for yourself. I've been delinquent in
publishing my recipe here. I built rpm 4.4.6 to put its files in
my own account as I don't have root privileges on that system.
One thing to be cautious of is that 4.4.6 is the first version
that doesn't read old rpm formats, right Jeff? The good news is
that the rpm2cpio that comes with 4.4.6 still will. Would my
recipe be of use to you?
Cheers....
P.S.: What's the right way to publish patches that get rpm to
build on Solaris? Different lists have different
conventions. It might also be useful for me to publish
my spec file.

Kevin, A thousand thank-yous! I'm new to rpm, and struggled to find the
source code to be honest. I just need a version where I can run rpm --import
and rpm --check-sig so I can port a script I've written to Solaris. The
package on sunfreeware didn't have these flags though.
If you could let me have your recipe, that would be really useful!!
Thanks!!
Ed.
