[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] ``make check`` failing on Fedora (#977)

[Philipp Gesang]

The testsuite reports numerous failures on unrelated tests that
look rather innocuous, e. g. “SIGPIPE from install scriptlet”
from ``rpmio.at``. The common theme appears to be failure of
recursive directory operations inside a *fakechroot* environment.
>From the log:

    +mkdir: cannot create directory '/build/BUILDROOT/sigpipe-1.0-1.x86_64': No such file or directory
    +error: Bad exit status from /usr/local/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.LG7gAJ (%install)
    +    Bad exit status from /usr/local/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.LG7gAJ (%install)

Indeed, while simple directory operations work inside the chroot
recursive ones don’t:

    $ MAGIC="/magic/magic" FAKECHROOT_BASE=$(pwd)/testing fakechroot mkdir /foo
    $ MAGIC="/magic/magic" FAKECHROOT_BASE=$(pwd)/testing fakechroot mkdir -p /foo/bar/baz
    mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/foo/bar’: No such file or directory

To reproduce: ``autoreconf -f -i && ./configure && make -j check``.

System: FC 30, with stock fakechroot 2.19. The
``tests/rpmtests.log`` is too large for *fpaste* so please let me
know what specific information you need.
