A bunch of packages don't build cleanly without help, that's what we've been talking about. (eg. all the stuff Farkas opened bugzilla entries for)
FYI, most of these build failures are with a version of mock that has the device node /dev/tty setup in the build root. This causes some of the build tests to fail.
I think mock-1.1.6 (the one the CentOS team is using if I'm not mistaken) does not suffer from this issue because that node is not there and the tests that fail with 1.1.8 are just skipped.
The solution for mock-1.1.9 seems to be to remove that device node for many versions of host systems, because there is uncertainty on how to add that device node correctly (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609201).
