I only wanted to agree, that probably no distribution uses a rpmbuild on
insecure machines.

It is good to improve rpmbuild security, but we do not need to be
paranoid here.

The DoS concept "directory already exists, but it is not owned by me
=> fail" is acceptable for more projects, not only for rpmbuild: gconf,
esound, mc, orbit.
