Ah!  This happened to me as well, but I got around it.

First, did you upgrade gcc?  Perhaps to 2.1.3-16mdk?  Compile it
yourself? (I did...I first built the gcc rpms from src rpms).  Upon
installing the newly created gcc rpms, I started getting that problem.

As it turned out, it appeared that the actual app called "gcc" did not
exist any longer and the rpm --rebuild command was looking for
gcc.  What you DO have is gcc-color (or something like that).  What
I did was create a symlink from gcc-color to gcc.  The problem vanished.

I STILL cannot build the XFree86-4.0.1 src rpm, however.  The build
goes fine but at the very end, rpm fails to produce actual binary rpms.
If I enter the source directory for XFree86-4.0.1, I CAN run "make
install" and all goes well.  The rpm app is SCREWED!  I have upgraded
to the apparently broken rpm-3.0.5.  Oddly enough, this problem is
tightly coupled to XFree86 since I CAN build most other src rpms into
finished binary rpms. 

I am considering going back to the perfectly functional previous rpm
version in hopes of actually getting binary rpms at the end of the long
compile of XFree86-4.0.1.
