Well, basically I've already shared my current solution with you. I have
my packages uploaded at http://rpm.zaytsev.net, but first off, they are
x86_64 only, and secondly I seriously recommend you *against* using them
although they work perfectly fine for me, unless you know perfectly what
you are doing. I CAN'T STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!! They *WILL* *BREAK* the
compilation process if you'd later try to compile something curl-based
yourself. 

I've just tried to do a static build of rtorrent for x86_64 and here you
go: http://rpm.zaytsev.net/rtorrent.tar.bz2 . I don't have any other
clean EL5 x86_64 boxes to test it, so I need your help.

You might need to install the dynamically linked dependencies first:

sudo yum install libidn zlib libssh2 nss openldap krb5-libs \
                 libsigc++20 openssl ncurses

If this build works for you, then I *might* find some time to patch
update the SPECs if Dag / Dries / whomever approves this effort.

I am really short of time (OMG, I'm repeating myself) and I'm not
particularly fond of wasted efforts / patches floating around the lists
for weeks.
