kernel package question

Why does the kernel rpm (2.6.5-1.358) contain build files? I see
/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build/* contains makefiles and Kconfig. Is this
a bloat of the package?

Also, the aforementioned build directory contains other arches like arm
and h8300 which have nothing to do with ix86. Can these be removed from
the package?

Thanks, --Louis
