Try to recompile the src.rpm, but before change the optimization flags to mcpu and march=pentium (or i586) instead of mcpu/march=pentiumpro, this usually did the trick for me on K6/2. This has to be done in /usr/lib/rpm/macros or similar (grep mcpu/march /usr/src/rpm/* :-). (This might work in your own ~/.rpmrc as well, but I have not tested it.)
