I'm curious why that would be.  What makes building src.rpm packages 
difficult enough that mock wouldn't be any further help?  Normally you 
can just "rpmbuild -bs --nodeps package.spec" to build a src.rpm, and 
then use mock to set up the chroot directory for different releases and 
rebuild the package.
