I’m trying to build a 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 kernel without kabichk. I have downloaded the sources, installed the compiler, etc and ran the following command
rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` --without kabichk --with baseonly --without debug \ --without debuginfo kernel-2.6.spec.
I had modified the .SPEC file according to the WIKI page http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel
I have NOT installed any patches that will break KABI,
If you know your custom kernel retains the kABI, I suggest you entirely skip the section of the Wiki article that deals with the kABI-related modifications. No only this will reduce the chance of making incorrect changes but also it is indeed a good idea to do kABI checking.
If the build still fails, please post the last portion of the error log (or e-mail the whole log file to me).
