Why are you asking fedpkg to build for f33 if you are trying to

I am trying to get better turn around for myself as I have local
access to a POWER8 machine. And I was having difficulty debug the
weird failure I was seeing.
Use mock to get a clean el7 build environment on the POWER8 machine.
That submits a build to koji, to build it using the packages
available in the f33 buildroot.
Yup "fedpkg --release epel7 scratch-build". was also failing because
of some difference in the spelling of "*debug" files, that was unique
to el7 required a change in the spec file. A local build would have
been a lot quicker than koji
Maybe if it was possible, yes. But it's not possible without heroic
effort, and even then you'll have a mishmash of incompatible packages.
That's not reproducable or reliable or sensible.
The way to workaround a failure on --release epel7 builds is not to
turn your local system into something that is neither f33 nor epel7.
There are several ways to build for el7 or el8:
That helps thanks.
What you're trying to do now seems to be to create a
frankenstein system containing bits of fedora and bits of el7,
Well to me devtoolset looks a lot like the Advance Toolchain which I
have been using on Linux since 2013 It is available on various
distros including Ubuntu and Fedora.
That doesn't mean you can install it on Fedora though.
The point of devtoolset is to get newer versions of toolchain packages
on RHEL and CentOS. There is no advantage to installing it on Fedora,
because Fedora already *has* newer toolchain pieces. Even newer than
are in the latest devtoolset releases. It could be made to work, but
would be pointless, and the devtoolset maintainers are not going to
invest their time in making it work. So you'd have to spend your time
doing a completely pointless port of devtoolset to Fedora, just to
enable you to do something ill-advised in the first place.
