Ack. But:

Note that if one uses %{buildroot} instead of $RPM_BUILD_ROOT (no matter
how consistently), the end result is a potentially broken mixture due to
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2006-July/msg00306.html , so one could come to the opposite conclusion, too.
Oh well, pick your poison. Maybe it's best to just report a bug against
rpm, not set %{_target_cpu} in any recommended/defined buildroots, and
to shrug off for now the corner case concerning simultaneous builds of
the same package by the same user for different archs. Or just shrug it
off ;)
