I think mock is wrong. It's obvious that the devel packages assume
developers (like package builders, either human or not ;-)) run the
/etc/profile.d scripts. T
It's only broken development packages which require setting environment
variables like this. The correct way to do parallel installation is:

I'm sure there's some historical reason krb5-config is not in /usr/bin,
but it's a design flaw in the software.
The environment variable approach seems easy (no need to rename
binaries), but falls over when you need to compile applications against
multiple library versions.
