Description of problem:
"rpmbuild -bc --target ppc kernel-2.6.spec" fails at step:
make ARCH=ppc INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/var/tmp/kernel-2.6.11-1.1236_FC4.jreiser-root
modules_install KERNELRELEASE=2.6.11-1.1236_FC4.jreiser

The commandline which fails is:
if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b
/var/tmp/kernel-2.6.11-1.1236_FC4.jreiser-root -r 2.6.11-1.1236_FC4.jreiser; fi
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 1

Re-running that command from the BUILD/kernel-2.6.11/linux-2.6.11 directory using 'strace' shows:
  open("System.map", O_RDONLY)            = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

This does not make sense.  The file
$HOME/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.11/linux-2.6.11/System.map
exists, has permissions -rw-r--r--, has attributes ("lsattr") of "-------------".  SELinux is in targeted, enforcing mode; there are no relevant "avc" lines in /var/log/messages.

$HOME/.rpmmacros has:
-----
%packager %(echo $USER)
%_topdir %(echo "$HOME")/rpmbuild
-----

This entire behavior repeats under kernel-2.6.11-1.1236_FC4 and kernel-2.6.11-1.1238_FC4  (note: ARCH is ppc).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-build-4.4.1-9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm --install kernel-2.6.11-1.1236_FC4.src.rpm
2. cd $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS
3. change to "buildsmp 0", both at top level and in "%ifarch ppc".
4. rpmbuild -bc --target ppc kernel-2.6.spec >rpm.out 2>&1

  

Actual Results:  rpmbuild fails as in Description above: "make ... modules_install ..." exits with status 1; the depmod fails.

Expected Results:  Entire rpmbuild should have succeeded.
