Or you could "rpm -U file.src.rpm", edit the resulting .spec file to
manipulate the CFLAGS or other relevant options, and see if that
builds and runs. I've found in backporting that a lot of  complex
CFLAGS and other build options are optional tuning for performance or
cross platform compatibility and can be lived without for day to day
compilation.

But it's hard to tell without actually trying them out. You've got the
source tarball in the SRPM, perhaps you could run some tests with
building from that source tarball, or even tweak that .spec file as
needed?
