Kernel 2.6.23

[gjohnson5]

And I wish I had full understanding of where this is going.  With the new
kernels follow the document for building a custom kernel

1. su -c 'yum-builddep kernel-2.6.23-0.171.rc5.git1.fc8.src.rpm'
2. rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.23-0.171.rc5.git1.fc8.src.rpm
3. rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 (or `uname -m`)
kernel-2.6.23-0.171.rc5.git1.fc8.src.rpm
go to source tree
4. cd /home/gjohnson/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.22/linux-2.6.22.i686/configs
5.  head the config file
[gjohnson at localhost configs]$ head kernel-2.6.23-i686-PAE.config
# i386  <------------------  (Here's the issue)
#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.23-rc5-git1
# Tue Sep 11 13:31:28 2007
#
CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME=y
CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE=y
CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG=y
[gjohnson at localhost configs]$  

So even though you are building with an i686 target the kernel seems to
think it's still an i386 kernel.
Not sure how to ask the question because I don't know what's going on
