The kernel source RPM ("kernel-whatever.src.rpm" package) does not
contain a ".config" file.  You must create one by copying one of the
other "config-*" files in the RPM or via the "make menuconfig" or "make
xconfig" operations and saving the resulting configuration.

It looks like:
        $ cd ~/rpmbuild
        $ rpmbuild -bp SPECS/kernel.spec
generates a .configure file in the tree under BUILD -- There are both
a .configure and a .configure.old there.  Here is what I find:
        $ ll -At ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.30/linux-2.6.30.x86_64

        ...

That's entirely possible.  What I was trying to say is that there is
no ".configure" file in the RPM, proper.  It's created by an rpmbuild,
or one of the various "make" operations (make xconfig, make menuconfig,
make oldconfig, etc.) done after the source RPM is installed.
