This reminds me of a similar rpmbuild failure I ran into two months ago, also involving symlinks: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/22/177 . My current theory is that there's something odd going on at the intersection of rpmbuild, cp -l, and/or patch. But, of course, replaying part of your rpmbuild output didn't trigger this problem on a f20 system: $ cp -al vanilla-3.19 vanilla-3.19-git7 $ cd vanilla-3.19-git7/ $ cat [...]/patch-3.19-git7.xz | unxz | patch -p1 -F1 -s $ file tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/stringloops/memcmp_64.S tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/stringloops/memcmp_64.S: symbolic link to `../../../../../arch/powerpc/lib/memcmp_64.S' Still all very puzzling...
