Install the source RPM (rpm -i) and hack the oaf.spec file in
/usr/src/packages/SPECS. You will find the following lines somewhere in
this file:

CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" ./configure $MYARCH_FLAGS \
        --enable-more-warnings \
        --prefix=%{prefix} \
        --sysconfdir=%{sysconfdir}

Change --enable-more-warnings to --disable-more-warnings.
After this do: rpm -bb oaf.spec. 

Well, this is the way it works for me. Maybe someone has a better
solution, because I'm not a rpm expert.
