Just as a side note, you do not need to, and most likely should not build
RPMs as root.  They build fine as an unprivileged user. There have been
cases where RPM spec authors have messed up an environment variable
assignment that was used to run things like 'rm -rf $UNDEFINEDVARIABLE/etc'
and similar.
