  Not yet. One of the rpms I'd like to be able to compile is one
of the libc variants. :-)

  I was afraid you were going to say that! I was hoping there was some
way to do it without modifying the spec files by hand. Of course,
the Makefiles would also have to modified to support $(ROOT). Hmm,
maybe I need to write a script that'll build a sandbox that I can
chroot to before I do a 'rpm -ba'.
