rpmbuild --rebuild --target=noarch kernel-2.6.8-1.525.src.rpm

builds only:

Wrote:/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/kernel-doc-2.6.8-1.525.root.noarch.rpm


now i found a solution:

first i exstract the spec file 

- rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686-linux kernel-2.6.8-1.525.src.rpm
- edit the kernel spec file: kernel-2.6.spec
  set %define buildsource 0 to %define buildsource 1

rebuild:

rpmbuild -ba --target=noarch kernel-2.6.spec


my last question, why is the name of the rpm 

kernel-sourcecode-2.6.8-1.525.root.noarch.rpm
                              ^^^^ 
is it possible to get a name like this ?
kernel-sourcecode-2.6.8-1.525.noarch.rpm
