I've found in backporting that a lot of complex CFLAGS and other build options are optional tuning for performance or cross platform compatibility and can be lived without for day to day compilation. But it's hard to tell without actually trying them out. You've got the source tarball in the SRPM, perhaps you could run some tests with building from that source tarball, or even tweak that .spec file as needed?
