I am doing a bit of investigative work to see just how hard it is to build
openssl for myself.  The source from openssl.org is readily available and the
spec file provided seems fairly usable. However, I am seeing lots of errors
similar to this when I try to build it using mock:

+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/objdump
/usr/bin/strip: unable to copy file
'/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/openssl-1.0.1f-1.x86_64/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0';
reason: Permission denied


What am I tripping over?
