That is good to know - thank you I wasn't aware of that flag. Usually
people want to build upstream kernels to try newer versions with bug
fixes, new featiures etc.
Lets say for example, (s)he wants to build 2.6.34 upstream ...
following your recipe - what exactly needs to be done on fedora 12 ?
Rawhide typically tracks upstream pretty closely, so you can usually
find an apropos srpm in the build system. For example, for 2.6.34:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.34/11.fc14/
Navigate up just two levels from there, and you can see every upstream
base kernel version for which there's a source rpm available. No
2.6.35-to-be builds just yet, but there will be relatively soon.
