i.e. "build" should have been copied out as a deep copy, rather than
a shallow copy in the packaging.
On a semi-related note, I found that if you do:
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bc --target x86_64 --buildroot /usr/src kernel-2.6.spec
after installing the kernel source RPM, then some very bad things happen.
It tries to do an "rm -rf *" inside /usr/src. Ouch. That's not right!
What's the standard way to get the source RPM to unpack into
/usr/src/kernels
and build in there?

I updated kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 and installed the
kernel-devel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3. it seems the kernel-devel installed a
dir at /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/build, this includes C heaher
files needed when I update VMware configuration.
You may try to expliciently install kernel-devel, see if this fix a few
things.
