If you are building RPMS, look at mock.

Mock will allow you to get a clean buildroot for all your package
builds.  All CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 RPMS (except some kmods) are now
built with mock.

Mock does require that all the BuildRequires are correct for the SRPM,
as it installs a base + the build requirements for the SRPM only.
