non-self hosting question

Hello...

	Since RHEL3 is non-self hosting, what is the best way to compile
packages for it?

e.g.  I use spamass-milter to bridge sendmail to spammassassin.  the
milter requires sendmail-devel to compile.

My solution is to have my own "build machine" with a full install.  On
this machine I rebuilt sendmail.src.rpm and installed the sendmail-devel
rpm to fulfill my milter requirement.

Is there a better way?

Does/will RedHat provide customer access to an official build machine? 
At what level of support?

Or, is there an official build host spec?

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
