Sorry, may be someone CAN explain this all but not here I afraid. All RedHat's
magic stuff is OT for lkml. Ask RedHat's tech support about such problems.
About problems with compilation... Not sure. It can be RedHat's changes to
kernel (RedHat ships HEAVILY patched kernel) ot just usual "no `make mrproper'
when SMP<->UP kernel configuration change".
