Just answered my own question, I think:
Redhat (or someone? I haven't checked the SRPMS) has modified the
arch/i386/defconfig file to create a situation where if you make *config
form the kernel-sources rpm, you'll get a kernel binary similar to what
redhat ship.
But... if you download the linux tarball from the net (as I am doing) and
run make *config, you'll get a very vanilla configuration indeed.
To solve this problem, I ran 'make xconfig' on redhat's 2.0.32 kernel
tree, and copied the .config file to the 'net's' 2.0.33 tree and compiled
the usual way... worked a charmer!
