This was the cause of the problem: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-March/msg02775.html

The wrong kernel-devel is being installed using yum.  I removed kernel-devel-i586 and manually installed kernel-devel.i686 and it builds fine.

I've filed a bug against against yum https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233370
