does not matter

there is no clean buildroot guaranteed if running as root

for sure, try to understand how rpmbuild works

* unpack the sources
* run configure
* make install in the buildroot
* pack the RPM is all files are existing and listed in the %files section

and that is why running as root makes pretty no sense
/ from the view of the build-rpcoess is the clean buildroot
under rpmbuild and anything which tries ot break out there
is simply a bug which must not happen

so if all is working normal there is no need for root permissions
and if there comes a "permission denied" something was not normal
and thank god for not allow whatever it tried to run
