Thanks!
Last one, really:
suppose I want to build a source rpm. I do not
want to run make install as I do want to keep my orig binaries.
So what should I do ?
this is in fact the reason that I tried
rpmbuild -bp specFile
and the moving to BUILD/ppp-2.4.5 and ./configure && make from there.
But with ppp it failed.
Is there a flag which tells rpbuild not to build but not to run make install ?

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
