We're testing the 1.19.2-1.el4.rf from http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/ on 
RHEL4 32 bit. So far so good.

Today I grabbed the latest rsyslog-1.19.6-2.fc8.src.rpm from Fedora 
Development and rebuilt it on RHEL4 32bit. Seems to work fine after very 
summary testing.
Perhaps that should be the reference used for EPEL? Anyway, mainstream 
just released 1.19.8 today.

I did notice it does not chkconfig off the syslog service after it's 
installed.
