I'd imagine that an RPM would cause too much damage.  But I have this vague
memory that someone had installed an updated autoconf (in /usr/local) on
one of our RHEL 5 machines which extended how long I could build Wireshark
there for a couple of years.  I think they just downloaded the source,
compiled, and installed it.  Not the best for those who like to keep their
system clean (all software in RPMs) but it worked.
