Then you should not have problems.  But by default I build as a
unprivledged user and there are some hardcoded references to /usr/src in
the .spec that get passed to libtool which caused some folks a heap of
trouble building apache add ons until it got sorted out thanks to a hint 
from one of the Tao folk.

I feel your pain about the driver rebuild nightmares.  Not sure what I
will do when the Radeon 9200 chipset goes out of production since it is
the most recent with OS drivers built into XFree86/X.org.  But even 
without worrying about X failing to load, there always seem to be drivers 
to futz with doesn't there.  Grr.
