Description of problem:
According to the Red hat customization guide, the kernel-source package should
be used to create custom kernels if this is necessary.

The kernel has been able to produce properly packaged kernels for quite some
time now. Since there's no reason not to use a packaged custom kernel and many
reasons to do so, we should add rpmbuild as a dependency for the kernel-source
package. Otherwise `make rpm' will fail.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the kernel-source package
2.make (whatever config app you prefer)
3.make rpm
    

Actual Results:  The compilation and packaging fails as the rpmbuild command
can't be found 

Expected Results:  A packaged kernel should be produced

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
