What I mean is that -bc does a:

   /usr/bin/bzip2 -dc /home/builder/rpmbuild/SOURCES/linux-2.6.15.tar.bz2

So I can not do a seperate unpack and a seperate compile + build making 
it impossible to just change 2 lines of code in the kernel in between :-)
(Well at least not without repackaging them again in a src rpm which is 
just too much useless work)
