I do all my reviews in mock. It uses a chroot to build the packages, so your
build directory is clean.

Another option is to have a second user on your system with which you build the
packages (better this way, so you don't end up blowing all your files away when
building a crappily written spec file). Just run
 $ rpmdev-setuptree
and build the SRPM with
 $ rpmbuild --rebuild package.src.rpm

Or you can build using your normal user name, this way your SPEC, SOURCES and
RPMS directories just get messier with every package you review...
