It couldn't be guaranteed to work in the case that the buildroot was populated using a different version of rpm that used a different version of libdb. That's not an issue that crops up much these days as libdb hasn't been version-updated for years (due to licensing issues IIRC) and mock with bootstrap mode enabled would populate the buildroot using the target's version of rpm anyway these days.
