Yes, I took the source rpm, did a "rpm -ivh" to that to install the
sources in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ "AND" the bind.spec file in
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ and then edited the "bind.spec" file to reflect
"--disable-threads" and then while in the dir called
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ ran the command "rpm -bb bind.spec" and it's
currently building the new binaries right now without threads.

Thanks for everyones help. :)
