Sorry for this comment.

I am _SERIOUS_ . There can be a case that user sets various environment
during many other works.

Relogin is truly NEEDED because it flushes all other settings (such as
environment) a user (who are trying to rebuild) has done and
sets the inital environment needed.

This is especially true for mockbuild. At first, mockbuild "user" has
set no environment. Then to ensure build environment, mockbuild "user"
really has to relogin.

? Relogin is needed to ensure reproducible builds to ensure system
environment is correctly set. If user has set a different environment
(such as QTDIR) and rebuild srpm without login, this surely leads to
unpleasant result.

Surely rebuild should be done under the same environment, not under
different environment set by user. The only thing to do this is relogin.

Sorry to hear that, however I think this is not a tiny thing.
