I think I know what's going on here. If there was no previous
kernel-source package installed, it would complain when compiling
split-include, and the cause is obviously missing kernel header.
Attached is a patch that hopefully cures this problem (it makes
split-include and ksymoops to use headers from SRPM package instead of
from stock headers). I consider this a problem since it shouldn't expect
people to have kernel-header already installed in order to compile kernel.
I have tested kernel-2.2.17-21mdk from MDK7.2, and both kernel-2.4.1-8mdk
and kernel22-2.2.18-10mdk from cooker as well, all having the same
symptom. Guess nobody has time to make stupid tests like this. :)

PS I avoided modifying spec, but it's ok to modify spec for the ksymoops
part.
