Indeed. One could argue that.

At this point, I would defer to Jesse, who has more experience in this
specific area.

I was merely trying to point out why the old mock behaviour was a bug
(leaking env vars from host=>chroot).

The patch to change the rpmbuild to be a login shell would not be a
large one, and I am sort of on the fence about it. (Minor input would be
that env. vars from /etc/profile.d/ seem like a poor way to do this,
there seem to be lots of better ways.)
