The kernel....src.rpms don't build rpms, they just unpack the
needed source/headers/docs/patches to /usr/src/<kernel version>.
Don't confuse these kernel...src.rpms with the other option which is to
d/l the kernel-source, kernel-headers, and kernel-docs rpms. This
might be the easier option for you since the source already has the
usual Mandrake specific patches applied.
