For the name modification, I add something to the end of the "%define 
release" line. In this case, it might be "4kstack".

I found it necessary to specify the target when building, to get the right 
arch:

rpmbuild --target i686-linux -ba kernel-2.6-4kstack.spec

(I had to do this to get my legacy PTY's back.)
