At one point we had the system so it would generate an SRPM.  But you have to 
remember the SRPM is just a container, this isn't going to build something you 
can bring to your favorite RPM based distribution and build.

The code would take the configure/compile/install steps and dump them into the 
spec, along with references to the source and patches.  This way everything was 
in one convenient place, but again -- it's not going to work standalone.

To build software for the YP, you really need to use the build environment -- or 
an SDK.
