do NOT build packages as root!

any error in the source or SPEC may overwrite files on
your running system - the idea behind rpmbuild is to always
have a clean buildroot and NEVER touch the hosted system
which will not be true if it it started as root

NEVER build ANY sources as root

even without rpmbuild the only thing which has to be allowed
root-permissions is "make install"
