I can think of a couple approaches to permitting multiple %buildroots.
One way is to permit multiple colon-separated path prefixes with
ordering implicitly used to determine which subpkg uses which
buildroot.
Another way would be the analogue of, say, "%description foo" with
a collection of %{buildroot_foo} macros with conventionally created
names.
A third way might be with subdirs/smlinks in the existing %
{buildroot} top
level directory.
Dunno which way I like best yet, which is why I haven't attempted
an implementation.
Just happened to encounter the ancient RFE (w patch attached) for adding
multiple subdirs (essentially the 3rd option above) as buildroot's in
bugzilla.
