the reason i wanted to recompile was to optimize the samba for my dual xeon procs :) and this was my first try at recompiling using source RPM's.
ps! if someone suggest that im better off using gentoo distribution, sorry i dont have all day to recompile the whole os from scratch for my specific proc arch, i just need some of the packages to be optimize only:)
An admirable objective. Optimize only what you must. All else just leaves you open to optimizer bugs, because that part of the compiler is pretty complex (not just for gcc, but for any compiler).
I'd recommend joining the RPM mailing list, where packagers hang out and help each other use the RPM tools.

(BTW, if you use the link below to go to the Fedora list page, there a link at the bottom of that page to all of Red Hat's lists, which are useful for getting more specific help.)
