Jeremy,

This is very informal / unofficial, but it may help you get beyond your 
  build problem. It's quite possible that my approach may not be the 
best, or may have flaws I do not yet appreciate. Please accept it in the 
spirit of trying to be helpful.

In my experience I have had to install the kernel .src.rpm package, 
issue an rpmbuild -bp on the kernel sources, and then do a certain 
amount of kernel sources prep in the installation area in order to 
successfully compile the ofa_kernel package (the kernel-devel and 
kernel-headers packages to not seem to be enough).

rpm -i kernel-2.6.xx...src.rpm
rpmbuild -bp --target=$(uname -m) /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel.spec
cd  /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.xx/linux-2.6.xx.x86_64
make oldconfig && make prepare && make scripts

Then when invoking the OFED install.pl refer that script to your 
installed kernel sources (-s argument):
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.xx/linux-2.6.xx.x86_64

I hope this helps. Thanks,

-Ken
