latest kernels breaks ati-fglrx.spec

     Has anyone else running the new 2.6.16-1.2069 kernel on
FC4 noticed that it seems to break the ability to build
the kernel modules with...

rpmbuild -ba ati-fglrx.spec --without userland --target "$(uname -m)" --define "ksrc /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build"

I get a rpmbuild failure due to an attempt to create a Makefile.lib.c
symlink in the kernel source directory (which is read only). Also
the target for the symlink in scripts doesn't exist (Makefile.lib does).
I found that if I copied over the kernel source directory Makefile from
the previous kernel release and corrected the SUBLEVEL and EXTRAVERSION,
the kernel module rpms build fine.

ps I am using the srpm for ati-fglrx-8.23.7.1-0.lvn.2 from livna testing.
However I suspect the current srpm for livna release will do the same.
