I'm trying to rebuild an rpm from source (like I've done so many times

And I get rpm spitting back to me the command line options for rpm. If
I type rpm --help, I see the --rebuild option (and --recompile). Same
with man rpm. But neither of those options seem valid.

What's going on? Has anyone else been able to rebuild an rpm from src?

There is s seperate package required for building rpms. Get the rpm-build
package, and then you can do
rpmbuild --rebuild whatever.src.rpm
