I managed to build this in a fedora 40 chroot on a debian host fairly trivially so I think it should be straight forwards to do it for a newer version (for reasons I don't understand, trying to build a package on fedora 42 using the method below to create a chroot on debian failed with a missing /sbin/ldconfig and I'm not prepared to spend time debugging it but I assume when run on a RPM system it would "just work)
I think the following will allow you to build an up to date rpm

Install and update.
(There are all sorts of warnings about /proc not being mounted as rinse doesn't seem unshare friendly but they don't seem to matter for this process)

That's good to hear.
The spec file I used can be extracted using the attached src.rpm
rpm2cpio dump-0.4-0.59.b52.fc40.src.rpm | cpio -idmv
It's the spec file for the existing version with all the patches removed.
The new rpm core dumps. See https://sourceforge.net/p/dump/bugs/185/
