Hi, kbuild place to report bugs is here :
http://trac.netlabs.org/kbuild/

I also put some patches there: 
http://trac.netlabs.org/kbuild/ticket/117
http://trac.netlabs.org/kbuild/ticket/118
http://trac.netlabs.org/kbuild/ticket/119

in http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kBuild.git/tree you have the
patches for fedora. Maybe it is hour to update kbuild , last review was
about one year ago. 


Thanks
