from man rpm:
rpm {--rebuild|--recompile} SOURCEPKG ...
When invoked this way, rpm installs the named source package, and does
a prep, compile and install. In addition, --rebuild builds a new
binary package. When the build has completed, the build directory is
removed (as in --clean) and the the sources and spec file for the pack-
age are removed.
