Odd, I was able to build an rpm from 0.90 without too much grief on FC4.
I installed the 0.14.2.91-3.fc4 src rpm, then edited the spec file to
change the version and remove the CREDITS file from the packaging
section and it just worked for me. Needed a few -devel packages first to
satisfy the BuildRequires: directives though, but no complaints about
gtk at all.
