I would suggest using mock. Mock allows you to build a srpm from 
anywhere for any target system without being on that system. So you 
could download avahi from fedora 13,14 or 15 and run 'mock -r 
epel-5-i386 path/to/srpm' It will download all dependencies (if 
available) and leave you with nice rpms.
