To build a binary RPM from the source RPM, just do
rpm --rebuild mysql-3.22.32-1.src.rpm
You will have to manually install (rpm -i) the resulting binary RPMs.
To extract the tar.gz and spec files from the source RPM, just do
rpm -i mysql-3.22.32-1.src.rpm
and you will find the extracted files in the subdirectories of
/usr/src/redhat/. This path is of course, distro dependent and
configurable (on SuSE it is /usr/src/packages/, on my machine it is
/home/binand/packages/).
