rpmrebuild won't work if you can't read the files included in the source
package after extracting them.
Yes, understood perfectly.
But why does it complain about 0664 which would be the default for those
files with a freshly created /home? Maybe it should only warn if the permissions
are actually less?
*%ifarch-applied-patch* if the build is broken only for i586 for

Or maybe i don't get the description fully:

necessary configure and/or code patch to be effective only on a given
arch./
With the last part of the explanation and the warning itself, i'm
confused. If it is only
effective on one arch and fixed build there, why apply it blindly to the
other where this may break build
or have other unwanted sideeffects?
Because you won't notice your patch doesn't apply anymore until you build on
the platform where it is actually applied. In most case, it will be the
buildbot which fails, whereas your own local build was OK. The point here is
'the earlier it breaks, the quicker it gets noticed'.
Ah, silly me. Now i got it.
