When you rebuild or build an RPM, then you don't have to consider depencies as
hard as you do when you install a precompiled RPM.

At least PHP 4.3.0 do not requier any packages newer than that which comes
with RedHat (no need to recompile anything else), this is at least true for
RedHat 7.2 and newer.

So the answer to your question is: no, you don't have to rebuild anything else
than PHP itself.
