you will have to fetch either source rpm, and compile it yourself or get
.tar.gz file (much easier thing to me) add -DAUTO_PPP to CFLAGS in make
file, and do make/make install to reinstall binaries.

yes. it is precompiled already.

;-) what I would do with source rpm, is extract archive from it, extract
patches, if there are any, unpack archive, apply patches. compile it :-)

yes. :-)
1) to compile something you will have to have source code for it. there
usual way to have source code, is to get foo.bar.tar.gz, (knowing that it
has source in it, not binaries). issue : tar xvfz foo.bar.tar.gz
then cd foo.bar and you're done.
if would need more hints, email privately..
