As the error message says, see INSTALL where this is documented.

You didn't say *why* you're rebuilding rpm with the same version that's 
already included in Centos, but generally the easiest option is to start 
with the src.rpm of the system package: grab the src.rpm for rpm 4.8.0 
from Centos repository, modify the spec to your needs and rebuild.
