Thanks again.. all info you've supplied is usefull, however maybe I
wasnt clear ... the key words above were `FROM THE SPEC FILE'.

Ok, this kind of thing used to be right at the top of a spec file
before 2.6..   Where can I get a list of such items ... they don't
appear in spec files anymore?

2.4 *.spec:
  Summary: The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)
  
  # What parts do we want to build?  We must build at least one kernel.
  # These are the kernels that are built IF the architecture allows and
  # no contrary --with/--without arguments are given on the command line.
  %define buildup 1
  %define buildsmp 1
  %define buildBOOT 1
  %define buildenterprise 1
  %define builddebug 1
  %define buildjensen 0
  %define buildtape 1
  %define buildBOOTtape 1
  [...]

2.6 *.spec

  Summary: The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)
  
  # What parts do we want to build?  We must build at least one kernel.
  # These are the kernels that are built IF the architecture allows it.
  
  %define buildup 1
  %define buildsmp 1
  %define buildsource 1
  %define usegcc32 0
