When we turn the new feature ON, the %__brp_* (build-root-processing)
logic (and any other post-install tasks) will permanently run before
%check (which is executed later using --short-circuit).
There is a chance that the __brp logic breaks the builddir (if that is
what you meant?), causing the later `make check` to stop working and
the build to fail. I would consider this a bug in either the package
or its dependency stack, though I am not entirely sure how severe
those issues might be—or if they even exist. This deserves a bit more
attention first; I plan to run some mass rebuild experiments before
proposing to turn this ON in Fedora.
