I tried it - I had to hunt through the epel testing repo to find a 
yum/mock that would actually work on rhel4.  However, if I can happily 
use fedora to build el4 packages with mock, then I would rather do that 
than actually have to run el4 just to build packages.

So with mock 0.8.x, I can build el4 and el5 packages on fedora?
