These should be --without= instead of --without_.

I remember now why I never submitted this patch to ARK. I couldn't get
the userspace RPMs for ELN to build and it's likely something wrong with
the way that I'm building the kernel. Here's how I am building an ELN
kernel:

        DIST='.eln' make dist-srpm IS_FEDORA=0
        rpmbuild --define 'dist .eln' --rebuild --with=bpftool \
                --with=tools --with=perf --with=selftests --without=up \
                --without=kabidw_base --without=debug \
                --without=ipaclones --without=debuginfo \
                --without=cross_headers --without=pae \
                redhat/rpm/SRPMS/*.src.rpm

That won't actually build any RPMs. We are using similar flags for
the RHEL 8 kernel.

If I try to build it with just the three --without flags that you have
above like so, then it gives a different error:

        $ DIST='.eln' make dist-srpm IS_FEDORA=0
        $ rpmbuild --define 'dist .eln' --rebuild  --without=up \
                --without=debug --without=zfcpdump \
                redhat/rpm/SRPMS/*.src.rpm
        RPM build errors:
        Empty %files file 
/home/masneyb/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-5.10.0-0.rc1.57.test/debugfiles.list
