After some more research, I figured out that I'm missing the 
kernel-headers package. I don't see it on any of the three YDL 3.0.1 
CDs. Where do I get it?

I also figured out with this one that I have to do 'rpmbuild --rebuild' 
instead. However now it complains that the kernel source directory 
'/usr/src/linux' doesn't exist, and that I should set KERNEL_SOURCE, so 
if I can figure out where to get the kernel-headers package (see 
above), I should be fine.
