You're making this far more complex than needed. With the RPMs I sent you,
I also included the source RPM for nut (which was built on openSUSE 10.3
by the way). Extract that with

    rpm -Uvh nut-2.2.2-pre2.src.rpm

and then rebuild the lot with

   rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/nut.spec

There is also a command to do this in one go, but I don't remember this at
the moment. If your system is setup correctly, this will build a 64 bit
version of NUT and place the RPMs you need somewhere in a subdirectory of
/usr/src/packages/RPMS.

What you need, is to dig a little deeper in how your RPM based
distribution handles rebuilding packages... :-)
