fakeroot isn't needed. All the Mandrake RPMs (besides the kernel.src.rpm)
are buildable as a user. When you write your spec you just use %configure
and %makeinstall, and everything is taken care off. What this does is, that
configure gets called with --prefix=%{_prefix} (/usr), but in the make
install phase, make get's called with make prefix=%buildroot%{_prefix},
which will most always give ~/RPM/tmp/package-name/usr, if you follow the
Mandrake RPM howto.
