According to this past discussion : "rpm building bug?"
(http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2007-January/006243.html),
the rpm bug still exists in 0.8.x version.

The problem is basically that the script scripts/get_uts_release.sh
doesn't work if the KDIR variable is not exported.

This has been fixed in the 0.7 branche (according to
http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2007-January/006243.html)
where the variable is exported into the Makefile. See
http://svn.drbd.org/drbd/branches/drbd-0.7/Makefile

Though the fix is not present in the 0.8 branche's Makefile :
http://svn.drbd.org/drbd/branches/drbd-8.0/Makefile
Could this fix be port to the 0.8 branche ?

The - little - patch is :

### PATCH-END

It did fix my problem while attempting to build a rpm for drbd 0.8.3 on
Fedora Core 7 (with "make rpm")
