I've rebuilt all of those and installed them:

febootstrap-1.7-1.fc10.1.noarch
fakechroot-2.9-22.fc10.i386
fakeroot-1.12.2-21.fc10.i386
qemu-0.10-15.fc10.i386

Also I'm using the brand-new libguestfs-1.0.18-1.fc11.src.rpm to try to 
rebuild it for f10 but I still get fatal errors:

Lots of these:
/usr/bin/pod2html: inspector/virt-inspector.pl: unknown pod directive 
'encoding' in paragraph 5.  ignoring.
/usr/bin/pod2html: inspector/virt-inspector.pl: cannot resolve 
L<guestfish(1)> in paragraph 44.
/usr/bin/pod2html: inspector/virt-inspector.pl: cannot resolve 
L<guestfish(1)> in paragraph 69.
/usr/bin/pod2html: inspector/virt-inspector.pl: cannot resolve 
L<guestfs(3)> in paragraph 139.
...

Then I see this:
malloc: 4103338240: Cannot allocate memory
DB_ENV->set_lk_detect: unknown deadlock detection mode specified
DB_ENV->txn_stat_print interface requires an environment configured for the 
transaction subsystem
run_yum: line 1:  5326 Segmentation fault      yum -y -c 
"$tmpdir"/febootstrap.repo --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=febootstrap 
--noplugins --nogpgcheck --installroot="$target" install "$@"

and finally this:
chroot: cannot run command `chmod': No such file or directory
