Ahhh - yes:
if [ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ]
then
fi

Thats not helpful then. It seems /etc/rpm/macros.dist doesn't exist.

However, it seems to be provided by the package buildsys-macros. I've 
installed that and as its only populated at package build time, we'll 
see what happens this time around :)

I hope this is it as I've been fumbling around for the last few hours 
trying to get it sorted. I haven't built for EL5 before - so theres a 
few things that seem strange.
