First a note to Robert: miredo-server is a separate rpm package, but it
is built from the same source rpm as the other miredo packages. 

I donloaded the src rpm for Fedora 20. That package depends on having
systemd (so it would most likely work on RHEL7).
If I remove the systemd references (the requires/ build requires and
the .service files) it builds without any more issues. If you can create
your own init files you should be all set.

The changelog says:
Tue Apr 24 2012 Jon Ciesla <limburgher at gmail.com> - 1.1.7-8 - Migrate to
systemd, BZ 789782.
so if you take a Fedora 1.1.7-7 or earlier src rpm, you could probably
easily take the spec file and use the 1.2.6 tar file to build a working
setup
