That makes no sense, because $RPM_BUILD_ROOT should evaluate to the
value defined in the "BuildRoot:" tag. It seems you inserted a mistake

Read up on the %setup macro's options. It seems you want to add -n %{name}
so it enters the existing "pcore" directory instead of the default (which
is %{name}-%{version}).
