Do I have to start from the beginning again, creating a patch file to
add to the file.spec file??? This seems to be very cumbersome, especially
regarding that some packages take hours to compile (kernel, XFree86, ...)!!!

Do you at RedHat work with src.rpms in this way??

What about --short-circuit also for the -bb, -bs and -ba switches??

Or better though, introduce stamping of different build stages:
%prep
%setup
%build
%install
%doc
%files
%clean
etc

Pros/cons??

Hoping to be able to contribute to bug fixing.
