The patch titled Add dependency on kernel.release to the package targets has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is add-dependency-on-kernelrelease-to-the-package-targets.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this From: Zach Brown <zach.brown@xxxxxxxxxx> The binrpm-pkg target uses KERNELRELEASE when generated its .spec file. When binrpm-pkg was the first build target run in a tree it generated the .spec before kernel.release so the Version: tag in the .spec was empty. I don't know if this is the best fix, but binrpm-pkg works when we explicitly build kernel.release before descending into package-dir.
