Hmm, first I've heard that there might be probs. building rpm's as root. What are they?
Makefiles generally assume that one is a mortal and can take risks that root shouldn't. For instance, a rogue error in a Makefile could clobber "live" files if you build or "make install" a source RPM as root. Simple errors in a spec file can do catastrophic damage as root. For instance, a spec file with no build root and a default clean rule could wipe the whole system.
