Ok, so we did more digging, and we find that plague calls setarch before
the mock call.  So when I duplicate this style of call:

/usr/bin/setarch i686 /usr/bin/mock -r fedora-1-i386-core --arch
i386 /home/jkeating/rpmbuild/SRPMS/emacs-21.3-9.legacy.src.rpm

I do indeed get the vague failure.

Upon running the rpm script inside the setarch chrooted buildroot, it
does indeed error out trying to remove some files that it can't find.  I
have no idea why it can't find these, I'm trying to figure it out.
