for a small embedded System i would like to install CentOS, but it is a RISC System. So my Question is it possible to rebuild some SRPMs for RISC?

Depending on the environment, this is probably a useless waste of CPU cycles, memory, and precious storage space :). As other suggested, you may want to look at Busybox.

<semi-ot> If the system has a MMU, NetBSD is also a good option. It can fit in low memory environments, and can easily be cross-compiled on any architecture you prefer. The miniroot build infrastructure bits show how one could build a small system. Of course, you could also use precompiled binary sets plus pax and mtree. </semi-ot>
