Well, in fact my goal is to build kernel-ib rpms.  Not sure if
configure; make in that download will do that, but certainly, I can
apply rpmbuild --rebuild to the SRPM that comes out of the OFED GA
package and it seems to work.

But I was looking for a more "sanctioned" avenue.  It would sure be nice
if one of the modes of install.pl was to simply build RPMs without
installing them and without requiring root.
