Depends on where the error can/should be caught and handled. Yup,
no error checking on fwrite's of scriptlets (from build/build.c):

...
    (void) fputs(buildTemplate, fp);

    if (what != RPMBUILD_PREP && what != RPMBUILD_RMBUILD && spec->buildSubdir)
        fprintf(fp, "cd %s\n", spec->buildSubdir);

    if (what == RPMBUILD_RMBUILD) {
        if (spec->buildSubdir)
            fprintf(fp, "rm -rf %s\n", spec->buildSubdir);
    } else
        fprintf(fp, "%s", getStringBuf(sb));

    (void) fputs(buildPost, fp);
   
    (void) Fclose(xfd);
...
