                  rpm -ivh libspe2-2.1.0-0.src.rpm
                  rpm_build.sh --none --libspe2

or if you prefer to do it manually you have to:

  1. Copy the libspe2-2.1.0-0.tar.gz tarball to /usr/redhat/SOURCES
  2. Copy the three libspe2 patch files to /usr/redhat/SOURCES
  3. Copy the libspe2.spec file to /usr/redhat/SPECS
  4. Move to /usr/redhat/SPECS directory and type: 
         rpmbuild -ba libspe2.spec --target ppc
     rpmbuild -ba libspe2.spec --target ppc64
 pmbuild -ba libspe2-cross.spec --target noarch
