Ok. How old is your installation? This is exactly the kernel bug I was
talking about in the last announce. In fact, this is even the command the
bug has been found on. So, you should update the kernel from RPMS to 2.1.99
and then you can freely recompile it.
Or, alternatively, do a make in /var/tmp/kernel/usr/src/linux/
(that will compile you the kernel - the difference is in the amount of
variables in environment that moves stack down during RPM builds and
triggers the kernel bug).

Cheers,
