rpmbuild -bb will build RPMs.  rpmbuild -bp will just "%prep" the
package.  IOW, it stops after %prep and before %build.

Right.  rpmbuild -bb on the kernel src.rpm will not build the Lustre
RPMs, but he said he found no RPMs at all with lustre in the name, which
is why I was interested in seeing what he did get.  We don't remove the
"-lustre" from the kernel packages until an upcoming (1.8.2 probably)
release and the 1.8.1 kernel src.rpm should have built kernel-lustre-*
RPMs.

                                          ^^^
-bb.  -bp only does %prep.
