i spent a few more minutes tracking down why doing "make rpm" fails
when you explicitly select the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO option, which
should append the git head string to darned near everything. trying
this eventually produces:
...

make[1]: *** [rpm] Error 1
make: *** [rpm] Error 2
the above seems to be because, for reasons i haven't isolated, the
temporary directory for module installation turns out to be this on my
system:
/var/tmp/kernel-2.6.24rc3g2ffbb837-root/lib/modules/2.6.24-rc3
where you can see that that final component in the part *doesn't*
incorporate the git version string, and i would think it *should*.
so, somewhere, the build process is not creating that subdirectory
with the proper name, and that's why the "make rpm" fails.
not surprisingly, if you *don't* select that feature during the
config process, everything works just fine. so someone, somewhere
along the way, is dropping the git string.
