Maybe check your .config-file and see if there is something like:
# CONFIG_MPTCP is not set

Make sure that IPv6 is not a module.
And - just to be sure - check if there exists a directory net/mptcp/ in the 
sources.

I'm not familiar with the Fedora build-process. The Ubuntu-way is also quite 
tricky.

If you don't absolutly need to generate an RPM, maybe it would be enough to 
simply checkout the sources and compile with "make" and install with "make 
install".


Cheers,
Christoph
