I found a src.rpm for 1.1.5-1 for fc8 (not rh8!). I was able to rebuild it on my Centos build system.
The rpms are identified as 1.1.5-1.i386.rpm, no el5 or other identification was placed in the files. I don't see how to control this when you rebuild from an existing src.rpm. Interestingly the fc8 designation was lost.
I also rebuild it on my fc10 system. It worked, and the rpms have fc10 in their names.
Don't know how well they will work. I will be trying them over the next couple weeks. If anyone wants a copy, let me know....

Look inside the .spec file. The Release line should contain a dist tag as follows:
Release: 1%{?dist}
The "1" will vary of course.
Then, when you build, just define the dist flag to be what you like:
% rpmbuild --define 'dist .el5' <whatever>.spec

OK. I am almost getting it.
I did a: rpmbuild --rebuild miredo.1.1.5-1.fc8.src.rpm
In otherwords, I did not even bother to open up the src rpm. I hope that won't cause too much of an issue with what was built on Centos!
So do I then do:
rpmbuild --define 'dist .el5' --rebuild miredo.1.1.5-1.fc8.src.rpm

So I tried it and it works. At least it built the rpms with the .el5 string included (actually I used .el5.rgm so I would know it is mine).

If you want the el5 in the name, a file /etc/rpm/macros.dist with the following content:
# dist macros.
%rhel 5 %dist .el5 %el5 1

we dont use %rhel or %el5 in CentOS. You really want a %centos_ver in there with either a 3 4 or 5
and yea, the %dist with .<yourid>.el<whatever>
in the CentOS buildsystem the %dist gets set automatically. And since the distro uses .el5 and .centos.el5 etc, you should not normally be using that. You are better off adding a bit about your own tag. Eg: Robert Moskowitz might use %dist .robm.el5

I ended up using .el5.rgm
That made it like what I see with .el5.rf and .el5.kb!
Now I have to figure out what happened on the F10 system that DID put fc10 (without me doing anything) in so I can make it .fc10.rgm...
