Perhaps this can help?

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=flashrom

The rpms are there, for immediate use, and also the maintainer's contact

as well to see if there are any differences, but there are too many
people on the repos at the moment, I'm getting kicked.

If the threads you were looking at dealt with stack check failure, it
doesn't affect flashrom.
