Thanks for the context... because now it makes sense...

The problem was  I was trying to decipher the
'Found '/var/tmp/libgssapi-0.11-root' in installed files; aborting'
line because I thought that was the error...

Would it be much clear if the error message was something like:
/usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
Failed do the follow problem(s): Bad prefix setting
/var/tmp/libgssapi-0.11-root/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libgssapi.pc:prefix=/var/tmp/libgssapi-0.11-root

At least that would draw my attention to correct line of output....
