The problem with the kernel builds (both 2.2.x and 2.4.x) is the
pcmcia-cs package configuration script. No option to remove support
for the cardinfo control panel, which uses xforms exist! It xforms,
xforms-devel is installed, the script uses it!! Please remove the
xforms option from the kernel build. (I currently need xforms
installed for other tools, such as LyX, but that will change soon :-)

Cardinfo is built if xforms is installed when building from the .src.rpms :-(
