Hey, back again...

Doing that I get a system that can successfully build fc11 packages
(with the newest mock, and upgraded yum and rpm). But I'm hitting
problems with building packages for fc10. Mock is not happy with
anything using, say, scons (ie: python using popen). Builds fail. 

Appears to be related to:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520916
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524044

My question is: what kernel is being used in the build systems that
successfully use mock to build for fc10? The latest from rhel 5.3 seems
to exhibit the problem and I have found no workaround so far...
