A few questions here:

Is the BuildRoot from the spec ignored, or does it override the default
buildroot?

Is the default buildroot literally "%{_topdir}/BUILDROOT/" or is it
something more complicated. I could easily see a case where two
concurrent rpm builds could step on each other's buildroots.
