If I were going to compile an rpm from Fedora, I would compile the
source rpm.
You can use the 2.4.2 rpm's which are available from bacula-downloads
which shouldn't be much of an effort at all.
I built the rpm's from Fedora 2.4.3-1 source and used this...
rpmbuild -bb \
--define 'build_centos5 1' \
--define 'build_mysql5 1' \
--define 'build_wxconsole 1' \
--define 'build_gconsole 1' \
--define 'build_bat 1' \
bacula.spec
