Okay, I had to do some work to get this working.  Firstly, I had to grab 
rrdtool-devel from DAG:
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rrdtool/

And, I had to install pcre-devel from the CentOS CD.  I also had to make a 
link from /usr/include/pcre/pcre.h to /usr/include/pcre.h.

Then the "rpmbuild --rebuild hobbit-4.1.0-1.src.rpm" finished and created 
two rpms in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386.  One for hobbit, one for hobbit with 
debug info.

Of course, this RPM installs prefectly well on the system.  I'll be using 
this from now on to build my own RPMs for CentOS.

Thanks.
