[This would probably be best taken to the RPM mailing list.]

Depends on what you mean by "do" for each of those steps. Part of rpmbuild's
job is to automate the build process, wrapping the patch, configure, make, and
install steps.

Grab the *source RPM* which contains tarballs, patches, and spec file, and
rebuild that. If you want to customize the invocation of the configure
command, unpack the source RPM ("rpm -i xxx.src.rpm"), edit the configure
command in its spec file, then issue "rpmbuild -ba xxx.spec".
