It is as safe as building the rpms on real machines. A virtual machine
is really just as 'real' as a real machine, as far as the software
running on it goes. Virtualization is really just a hardware 'feature'
-- that is, virtualization is effectively only a different flavor of
hardware, where the hardware is virtual (hardware 'emulated' in software
on the host system).
