The 'make glusterrpms' should normally get executed from a checked out
git repository. I do not think anyone uses it for rebuilding RPMs.

You can most easily rebuild the RPMs from the tarball:

    $ rpmbuild -ta glusterfs-3.6.2.tar.gz

Do that as a non-root user :-)

Failing that, you can also just use the 3.6 RPMs from 

    http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.6/
