You need rpmbuild installed ("yum install rpmbuild").  If you want to
create something like the old "kernel-source*" RPMs, then get rpmbuild
and the kernel source RPM and:

	rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.10-1.737_FC3.src.rpm
	cd /usr/src/redhat
	rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
	cd BUILD/kernel*
	mv linux-2.6 /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-1.737_FC3
	cd /usr/src
	rm -f linux;rm -f linux-2.6
	ln -s linux-2.6.10-1.737_FC3 linux
	ln -s linux-2.6.10-1.737_FC3 linux-2.6

Note that the target is "i686" or "i386", not "x86"
