I guess you didn't install the sources. Go and get them!
Either grab the mgetty-1.1.18.tar.gz or the mgetty-1.1.xy.src.rpm.
If you install the src rpm, you will find a source tgz in
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.

I suggest looking for the source tgz at 
http://alpha.greenie.net/mgetty/index.html
ftp.leo.org:/pub/comp/networking/communication/modem/mgetty/

but I remember that it took me some to find the recent 1.1.18 tgz.
