I pulled down the kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.src.rpm source to build my usual custom kernel (adds NTFS wwrite support) and it does not build. Whether I include the NTFS or just build from the source with no changes (other than make oldconfig and adding the # x86_64 line), I get this error every time:

The following symbols have been changed (this will cause an ABI breakage):

RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.2757 (%build)
Should I exclude the kabi (and if so why is it not excluded by default)? What else did I miss?
Thanks.

PS: I know I could build that as a module, but that shouldn't make the kernel build fail....
