It seems this broke the kernel build. I did some scratch build today
to test some patches, but it failed with this:
+ /usr/bin/pesign -c 'Red Hat Test Certificate' --certdir
/etc/pki/pesign-rh-test -i arch/x86/boot/bzImage -o vmlinuz.signed -s
pesign: Could not initialize nss.
NSS says "The certificate/key database is in an old, unsupported
format." errno says "No such file or directory"
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.YKqoK0 (%build)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.YKqoK0 (%build)
Child return code was: 1
