I tried to rebuild sysprof-kmod for the f8 release, but it failed with:

These was not created before, so I'm not sure if they have to be packaged, removed, ghosted or...

I'd remove them, possibly with %exclude. It is the responsibility of scriptlets added by kmodtool to calculate the module dependencies, these files are unusable anyways.

They are generated because kernel-devel packages in F-8 include System.map, see Makefile in the source tree for details. I chose to explicitly disable depmod during build (which is what generates those files) in em8300-kmod, I think that's a cleaner approach, and matches what actually happens in earlier distros.

So my option now seems to be:

1. patch Makefile
2. remove (or %exclude) generated files

I recommend the former.
