The kernel-source RPM contains the headers, but a separate kernel-headers RPM is a build requirement for a lot of packages. So, which kernel-headers RPM is installed on Mitel's build host(s) and where did you get it? To the best of my knowledge RedHat never provided kernel-headers-2.2.19-7.0.8. Did you make your own, like presumably Darrell did?
