The appropriate answer to this one is:

rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 kernel-2.4.spec

you need the i686 in order to build the smp stuff, otherwise it will not
build it.

Rebuilding the kernel using make menuconfig etc. is OK for a one off
purpose, but not for multiple machine deployment (the whole purpose of
rpm).
