I think you have misidentified your problem.

It's very easy to use the .src.rpm from PGDG to recreate a binary RPMs
in Mandrakelinux. In fact I used to do that back when I used Mandrake,
not many months ago. You just need to install the rpm-build package and
follow the standard Mandrake instructions for building packages. See
the Cooker documentation on that.

You have to install zlib-devel and some readline devel package in order
to compile cleanly, anyway.
