Well, you can compile from source without interfering. With the right
./configure options you could overwrite your existing RPM, but that's messy.

Your best bet might be to get the source-rpm, and alter the settings in that.

These options do not exist in the 7.3 series.  (They are the default
behavior.)

There should be an RPM available for the JDBC driver.  Else, it might be
easier to download binary drivers from jdbc.postgresql.org.
