Guoqing Jiang reports that openSUSE cannot compile the kernel rpm due to "BuildRequires: elfutils-libelf-devel" added by commit 8818039f959b ("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable using koji"). The relevant package name in openSUSE is libelf-devel.
Add it an alternative package.
BTW, if it is impossible to solve the build requirement, the final resort would be:
$ make RPMOPTS=--nodeps rpm-pkg
This passes --nodeps to the rpmbuild command so it will not verify build dependencies. This is useful to test rpm builds on non-rpm system. On Debian/Ubuntu, for example, you can install rpmbuild by 'apt-get install rpm'.
NOTE1: Likewise, it is possible to bypass the build dependency check for debian package builds:
$ make DPKG_FLAGS=-d deb-pkg
NOTE2: The 'or' operator is supported since RPM 4.13. So, old distros such as CentOS 7 will break. I suggest installing newer rpmbuild in such cases.
