Have you actually tried this out before ?
try this : ------------- rpmbuild -bp --target i686 kernel-2.6.spec mv ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.9 ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.9.i686
rpmbuild -bp --target x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec
cd ../BUILD diff -uNr kernel-2.6.9.i686 kernel-2.6.9 | wc -l 15431 -------------
Can we, therefore, safely assume that source setup after a '-bp' is not that arch independent really?
Is the kernel-sourcecode RPM you built anywhere that I can get it?
There is no kernel-sourcecode built by the CentOS buildsystem by default ( anymore ).
If you really need it - go grab the .src.rpm and rebuild to suite your role / application requirement.
