Buildroot being ignored

[devzero2000]

The "NEW" rpm functionality was implemented years ago from Jeff Johnson (
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/rpm-devel/2006-August/001348.html).

In RPM 5 (http://rpm5.org)  it work well

Also the test case (http://rpm.org/attachment/ticket/10/a.spec) work
correctly in RPM5.
