That is outside the realm of "make rpm".

I assume kernel-4.1.0.spec was a copy, somehow made, of kernel.spec as
was created by "make rpm". Does it matter, for the issue you ran into,
whether "make rpm" or "rpmbuild -bb SPECS/kernel.spec" is involved?

These two links are, I think, generated in this snippet from the main
Makefile:
_modinst_:
        @rm -rf $(MODLIB)/kernel
        @rm -f $(MODLIB)/source
        @mkdir -p $(MODLIB)/kernel
        @ln -s `cd $(srctree) && /bin/pwd` $(MODLIB)/source
        @if [ ! $(objtree) -ef  $(MODLIB)/build ]; then \
                rm -f $(MODLIB)/build ; \
                ln -s $(CURDIR) $(MODLIB)/build ; \
        fi
        @cp -f $(objtree)/modules.order $(MODLIB)/
        @cp -f $(objtree)/modules.builtin $(MODLIB)/
        $(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.modinst

I wonder why you don't see similar links when building on CentOS. I saw
similar links in rpm's BUILDROOT when building on Fedora 22.

Thanks,
