I generally build kernels from tarballs using buildkernel.  In any case,
I have run into your "no job control" problem recently.  I even 
corrected it but, unfortunately, I cannot tell you specifically what I
did (I did a number of things).

Essentially, I upgraded several other rpms after getting this message
and after that, no problem.  I built rpm and binutils and glibc upgrades
from cooker from source rpms.  I also upgraded a number of other rpms
as well but I believe that those I mention above are most likely to
apply to the problem.  After these upgrades, the "no job control"
message vanished (I was trying to compile the XFree86-4.0.1 src rpm and
got the job control message).

I guess that all I can say is start upgrading some of the important
packages involved in building/compiling src/rpms.

I prefer the tarball kernels because each time I've tried to build
a kernel src rpm, it screws things up royally and I have to worm my
way out of a problem.  Never happens to me when I use tarballs in
conjunction with buildkernel.  Damn nice little app, that.
