I make the SuSE RPMs.  It's fixed by using the spec file in the repository
rather than using the one I made up myself.

There's an RPM howto which is not very good and out of date but better
than nothing.

Put the spec file in /usr/src/packages/SPEC
put the sources in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES
emacs uml.spec  and add your name, check the --prefix directory and to
appease GCC on the tokenizer.cc file add
export CXXFLAGS=-O0  before the configure.

then rpm -ba uml.spec

It might complain about a wrong file name on the sources, so correct that.
It might also want a .gz source and you might have a .bz2 source so
correct that.

Sit and wait.

Hopefully and RPM will appear in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386
