chris, cacel all that other crap, use rpmrebuild.
1. get it here:
http://rpmrebuild.sourceforge.net/
2. install it (as root)
rpm -Uvh rpmrebuild-1.4.6-4rpm4.noarch.rpm
3. read the man page, or just use it;
rpm --rpmrebuild --batch gimp
4. transfer the newly built rpm to the new machine.

That other info isn't crap, just deprecated! :-)
