kernel-2.6.7 build 499

Hello,

I have my own build system that is completely written from scratch with the aim
of finding build problems. I have been using the 437 kernel for quite a while and
decided its time to start trying the 2.6.8 rc's. I tried to compile 499 and it
errors out. I haven't found the exact problem, but I did notice that its trying
to do something naughty:

depmod: Can't open /lib/modules/2.4.20-31.9smp/modules.dep for writing

Why would a rpm package build be trying to modify my running system? The build
root is an entirely different path. Should this step be noop'ed or build-root
appended to the path? Do you want this in bugzilla?

Best Regards,
-Steve Grubb
