rpm kernel build q...take 2

(resending as I have not seen my msg in the mail list and its been 24 hrs)
 
hi,
I just dl'd & built a kernel source RPM ( 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5-i686 ) as I needed to set some kernel
switches for a new driver.
 
The rpm build process produced the exact RPMs that I expected, complete with my little version
'_test' at the end.
 
The system boots my new 2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5 kernel just fine.
 
The problem is that the rpm BUILD output dir only has linux-2.6.18.i686, and my symlink
( /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5/build ) is expecting a 2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5-i686
source directory. This was set by the rpmbuild process.
 
Why didn't the RPM build process produce  2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5-i686 instead of linux-2.6.18.i686
source code directory?
 
Thanks, I appreciate any insight : )!
