So, sure enough, I got blindsided by the fact that rawhide's RPM

my Fedora 9 system offers no protection against the koji build failing.
I looked around for a place to inject --fuzz=0 into the patch arguments
on F-9, and couldn't find one. Is the definition of %patch really
hardwired into rpmbuild?
Yes.
See the ApplyPatch macro in the kernel specfile for a way to work
around it. We've been doing fuzz=0 patches since circa fc7 after
a fuzzy patch caused a "can't boot" regression that was a nightmare
to track down.
