You can overcome the ″uname -r″ mock problem by passing the kversion to
rpmbuild via the mock options.

For example, for kversion 2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64:

 $ mock rebuild --define 'kversion 2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64' <srpm>

For that to work, you also need to do (at least) two things:

First, modify your mock build environment (i.e.,
config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd']) to include kernel-abi-whitelists and
kernel-devel-<kversion>.

Second, make the Broadcom source available within mock by rebuilding
(i.e., rpmbuild -bs) a src.rpm after downloading the 32-bit and 64-bit
Broadcom hybrid source tarballs into rpmbuild/SOURCES as per the wl-kmod
wiki instructions and commenting out the two ″NoSource: ...″ in the spec
file, thus allowing a src.rpm to be built and subsequently used by mock.

Hope that helps.
