You can build RPM's yourself, either from the source tar.gz file by
running "cd hobbit-4.1.0; ./build/makerpm.sh 4.1.0", or by fetching the
source RPM and running "rpmbuild --rebuild hobbit-4.1.0-1.src.rpm".

I actually build the generic "i386.rpm" on a Debian-based system, and
then just do the rebuild thing on the various test systems I have.
