And do all mock builds link against this copy?  What happens if you have 
3-4 builds going on at the same time?  Are there any files that would be 
linked between chroots? (If all the chroots link to linked-cache-copy 
then the answer would be yes)

If you are just making a copy for each chroot then that isn't really any 
different then just modifying existing behavior but removing the gzip on 
the tarball
