Same here:

[eveith@basileia c3]$ rpm --version
RPM, Version 4.4.8

I downloaded http://wraptastic.org/pub/jbj/rpm-build-4.4.8-1.i386.rpm and 
extracted it with rpm2cpio ... |cpio -i --make-directories. But I cannot use 
it for it is linked against some libraries which I do not have on my system. 
Most of them do not bother me, but one thing bugs me:

[eveith@basileia c3]$ ldd usr/lib/rpm/rpmdeps | grep 'not found'
        libselinux.so.1 => not found
- -->     libelf.so.1 => not found        <--
        libneon.so.25 => not found
        libssl.so.6 => not found
        libcrypto.so.6 => not found
        libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => not found
        libkrb5.so.3 => not found
        libk5crypto.so.3 => not found

I do not have libelf.so. Does this library export some crucial functions 
rpmdeps needs? By the name I could guess it does.

I'll try fetching the elflibs and rebuilding rpm against them and report back.

Sorry, I cannot use rpm-4.4.9, because it comes with mutex robustness that 
fails for some reason here. Another thing I must look into. In the meantime I 
apply a patch that lets db-4.5.20 use fcntl instead of posixmutexes. Strange 
enough that the mutex addon doesn't work here, because I'm running kernel 
2.6.17, which was reported to work. Time for another kernel update here. :-)
