BuildRoot from spec is completely ignored.

The default buildroot is currently defined literally this way:
%buildrootdir %{_topdir}/BUILDROOT
%buildroot %{_buildrootdir}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{_arch}
Concurrent rpm builds shouldn't step on each others toes, unless you're
sharing your %_topdir with other people (in which case you'd better know
what you're doing anyway :)
