Probably looked at an old kernel.org Makefile.  Here's current pieces:

...
RPM             := $(shell if [ -x "/usr/bin/rpmbuild" ]; then echo rpmbuild; \
                        else echo rpm; fi)
...
rpm:    clean spec
        find . \( -size 0 -o -name .depend -o -name .hdepend \) -type f -print | xargs rm -f
        set -e; \
        cd $(TOPDIR)/.. ; \
        ln -sf $(TOPDIR) $(KERNELPATH) ; \
        tar -cvz --exclude CVS -f $(KERNELPATH).tar.gz $(KERNELPATH)/. ; \
        rm $(KERNELPATH) ; \
        cd $(TOPDIR) ; \
        . scripts/mkversion > .version ; \
        $(RPM) -ta $(TOPDIR)/../$(KERNELPATH).tar.gz ; \
        rm $(TOPDIR)/../$(KERNELPATH).tar.gz

So you can see that rpmbuild is accounted for.
