Are these documented somewhere? I see _topdir is used on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rebuilding_OLPC_kernel (and not really described) but a quick web search did not reveal any pages that list these options or describe what they do (although the latter can be inferred from the variable names). In any case, the list above and what's on "Rebuilding OLPC kernel" should be enough information for me to start building RPMs. The 2.6.26-rc2 boot problems I'm experiencing still remain to be solved. Let me know if there's anything I can do to provide more information.
