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.)
