not the root user, the preferred method of being able to rebuild a source RPM file. Ie, during compilation the install/prefix (RESULT_TOP in crosstools verbiage) set to /var/tmp/foobar/usr, but then snake up all the files post-compile and actually install to /usr.

When I get time I'm going to tear apart the Redhat srpms, they most assuredly do it somehow. Add it to the list of things to do. ;)
