First, you don't need to be -- and probably *shouldn't* be -- root when
you do anything other than run yum or other admin utilities.  Also, keep
in mind that if you're not *running* Rawhide, to get the latest kernel
you need to enable that repo.  Might I suggest these alternate steps?

$ su -c 'yum install yum-utils rpmdevtools'
$ rpmdev-setuptree
$ yumdownloader --enablerepo=rawhide --source kernel
$ rpm -ivh kernel-<blah>.src.rpm
$ su -c 'yum-builddep kernel-<blah>.src.rpm'
$ rpmbuild -bp ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec
$ cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-*
