I found:
    lynx-2.8.1-1.i386.rpm
and lynx-2.8.1-0.i386.rpm (from Linux Caldera 2.2)

but I don't know if it is stable releases.

So, I take this one:
"Lynx Version 2.8.1 is the latest "official" release.  This release is based on
the lynx2.8pre.11 development code set, and includes bug fixes through October
24, 1998.  See the CHANGES file for a complete record of all changes and
bug fixes in this release.  New releases are announced on the lynx-dev mailing
list (see below)."

(lynx2-8-1.tar.gz) from Tom's homepage.

and will compile it as David says.

In fact, it would be pleased if someone explain the difference beetween a
pre-release and a development (dev) release.
