You should not run rpmbuild as root (unless xen needs that - I am not sure, I don't use xen).
rpmbuild requires some additional RPMs. You should really (!) try out all this stuff in some sort of VM.I assume you have enough (umetered) bandwidth at home/work and only the colo-traffic is paid by MB.
Yes, it's wasteful to download a DVD image and we should all use less resources to save the planet. But even on our old 600/500 (kBit/s, not MBit/s) line at the old office, the download of a DVD ISO would just take a weekend.
And if even that is an issue, two minutes of searching via Google found this:
