You want an example? That's a reason to not use --target noarch, e.g. the above would work in reproducing a kernel sources tree actually used by Red Hat (he will not see a difference in the diff like you do). If you use --target noarch you get config files that are _recommended_ by Red Hat as a basis for creating custom kernels. There the CONFIG_DEBUG switches have been changed. If you use --target no-noarch ;) then the config files remain untouched. so it depends on what you need the kernel sources for, creating kernel modules for Red Hat shipped kernels (the don't use noarch), or creating your own kernels (use noarch). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
