They built fine for me.  For the benefit of others, it's very easy
to build xine from source:

	rpmbuild -ta xine-lib-1-rc4.tar.gz
	rpm -U /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/{libxine1,libxine1-devel}-1_rc4-0.ppc.rpm
	ldconfig
	rpmbuild -ta xine-ui-0.99.1.tar.gz
	rpm -U /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/xine-ui-0.99.1-1.ppc.rpm

That should do it assuming you have all the necessary developer tools
installed.
