Hi,
I'm trying to rebuild the kernel specifically on Centos7 from src.rpm but some packages are missing or too old. I managed to get them and compile on Centos8 though. Any advice?
# yumdownloader --source kernel.src
# rpm -ivh ./kernel-4.18.0-348.20.1.el7.src.rpm
# rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec
Building target platforms: x86_64
Building for target x86_64
error: Failed build dependencies:

Summary : Debugging Information Manipulation Tools

License : GPLv2
Description : dwarves is a set of tools that use the debugging information inserted in
: ELF binaries by compilers such as GCC, used by well known debuggers such as
: GDB, and more recent ones such as systemtap.
:
: Utilities in the dwarves suite include pahole, that can be used to find
: alignment holes in structs and classes in languages such as C, C++, but not
: limited to these.
:
: It also extracts other information such as CPU cacheline alignment, helping
: pack those structures to achieve more cache hits.
:
: A diff like tool, codiff can be used to compare the effects changes in source
: code generate on the resulting binaries.
:
: Another tool is pfunct, that can be used to find all sorts of information about
: functions, inlines, decisions made by the compiler about inlining, etc.
