If you check out the sources from Git, you can build the client against an unpatched
kernel (in the range 2.6.32 - 3.10 for master) using:
sh autogen.sh
./configure --with-linux=/path/to/linux
make rpms
If you need to patch and build a kernel for the server it is more complex. There is a
wiki page that describes this process:

I would like to build lustre from source in way that be independent of distribution. I
have a box with linux built from scratch and there is no specific distribution
associated.
What is the source kernel version that I have to use?
Any special recommendation for parameters to be used for ./configure?
