How do you plan to solve this when installing on a real system? User
installs a bunch of -devel packages, tries to do an rpmbuild, fail.

The easiest (and only) solution I see so far is my initial suggestion:
"start a (new) login shell".
If that's not acceptable, then we're stuck with the status-quo.
