Prebuilt for x86:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

src.rpm:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/SRPMS/SRPMS/

Just a warning, a src.rpm may have more dependencies then the final rpms it will
be making since it will need devel rpms to do the building.

Rawhide is, I believe, similar to Debians unstable or testing version.
