you can create an rpm with a pre-compiled binary, but you need a spec file
to do so.
The way it would work is something like this:
* the binaries you want would be SOURCEn's for the RPM.
* You will copy the rpm into %{buildroot}/path
* You have to specify the files in the %files section.
It's really helpful to read "maximum RPM" (google for it; it's *the* main
reference for how to make RPMs)
