Fedora Extras on x86_64

Hi -

I'm running FC2 on a new Athlon-64 system (x86_64 installation).

Looking at http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html it suggests I can get 
fedora extras from 
http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fedorax86_64/fedora.us/2/x86_64/ .
However, these are quite old compared to the i386 fedora extras.
There aren't any x86_64 binaries at 
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/

So I could
  o Use the old ones at duke.edu
  o Start recompiling SRPMS from the fedora.us
  o Use the 32-bit apps, installing the appropriate 32-bit libraries

Is there a more recent fedora extras repository? Is there an automated way 
I could generate x86_64 packages from the SRPMS?

Thanks

Jeremy
