Here's your problem; I imagine you have a fully built kernel directory, 
including the kernel configuration program used to configure the kernel. 
I bet it's the program that depends on libkconfig.

You should run a 'make clean' before you try to copy the source 
directory; this way, you have a clean source directory. The RPM 
auto-dependency machinery then won't find any executables to examine.
