When I was small, I was tought that sbin is for programs executed by
superuser, therefore only root user's login shell adds sbin into PATH.
Thus the question boils down to: What user does build the package?
But I can forsee the answer for `Does Fedora support building packages as
non-root?' The answer is `defined by koji^Wimplementation'. So does not
have answer.
On what architecture is root required to build packages? I thought a
build user was recommended?
