Would you so nicely post that on the appropiate page elsewhere please.?

 rpmbuild -ba  --target=i686 --define 'kvariants "rt"'
video4linux-kmod.spec

This is a bug also In my opinion because kmodtool should not allow the
nodepts parameter to be used.

It was by luck I decided to try """rt""".  You see my idiot self tried
kernel-rt there lol.  So this is the right way correct? 

Build is running with only installed kernel-rt and kernel-rt-devel:
 2.6.24.7-149.el5rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT 

We will see if it indeed works later on tonight.

John
