Confirmed.
A little more detail:
The directory /tmp/cache/headers is created, but empty.
The directory /tmp/cache/anaconda-base-200707231006/headers was not
created, and it is here that anaconda is looking for the headers. The
first package that it tries to install will throw the error.
Built using pungi-0.3.7-2 with a build system that worked great until
the yum update to 3.2.1-1.
Cross posting to fedora-buildsys-list.
