I won't. Only as last resort if normal rpmbuild gives you weird problems, which won't happen for 95% of all cases.

AFAICS build is strictly for openSUSE package builds and rebuilds, while rpmbuild is more generic. Even then using the openSUSE virtualbox-ose source rpm gives cryptic outpout as seen below. tindog:/home/lancelot/ftp/May08 # rpm -q libXalan-c-devel libXalan-c-devel-1.10-114 tindog:/home/lancelot/ftp/May08 # export BUILD_RPM_BUILD_STAGE=-bb tindog:/home/lancelot/ftp/May08 # build virtualbox-ose-1.6.0-5.1.src.rpm logging output to /var/tmp/build-root/.build.log... tindog started "build virtualbox-ose-1.6.0-5.1.src.rpm" at Wed May 28 21:09:20 BST 2008.
