Description of problem:
when i try to build the rpms from the src rpm, it randomly fails during
kernel configurations.  i see things like:

Default NLS Option (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) [cp437]
Codepage 437 (United States, Canada) (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437) [M/n/y/?]
Codepage 737 (Greek) (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_737) [M/n/y/?]
Codepage 775 (Baltic Rim) (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_775) [M/n/y/?]
scripts/Configure: Can't reopen pipe to command substitution (fd 4): No
child processes
Codepage 850 (Europe) (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_850) [N/y/m/?] (NEW) Codepage
852 (Central/Eastern Europe) (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_852) [M/n/y/?] 

and then later it whines:

*** End of Linux kernel configuration.
*** Check the top-level Makefile for additional configuration.
*** Next, you must run 'make dep'.

The following defaults are missing:
Codepage 850 (Europe) (CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_850) [N/y/m/?]
make: *** [oldconfig_nonint] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.14262 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.14262 (%build)

this happens on two different systems (both running 2.2.19-6.2.12
(installed from the binary rpms from updates.redhat.com).  where it fails
is always different, but always during the kernel config phase.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -i kernel-2.2.19-6.2.12.src.rpm
2. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
3. rpm -ba kernel-2.2.spec
