Building as root is not sensible, as packages can 'leak' and pollute the host environment -- see: http://www.oldrpm.org/hintskinks/buildtree/ for setting up a non-root building environment.
We discuss it in a CentOS context here: http://www.owlriver.com/tips/non-root/ http://www.owlriver.com/tips/patching_srpms/
The Guru Labs tutorial material are linked, and a local copy also maintained at: http://www.oldrpm.org/howto/
which are also well thought of by me.
