'make rpm' Failing due to i386 bug

[Joseph Manojlovich]

Hey all. I was using the latest stable branch from source.mvista.com,
and noticed that 'make rpm' wasn't working. Looking closer, I noticed
that a supporting script, scripts/mkspec, is quite 386 specific. It
makes an rpm spec file that assumes the kernel image is compressed,
which with ppc it isn't (for me at least).

Here's a quick patch which fixes this for the ppc platform, but would
not work on platforms that use compressed kernel images, like x86. I'm
not looking forward to fixing the make system for the kernel, so if
anyone wants to permanently fix this, it would be appreciated.
