I don't use rpm, so it it difficult for me to test the above.  In any
case, you don't give any details about how it fails.

You have reported this a number a times.  Yet I can not reproduce it.
I just tried again in a fresh buildroot build.  In a rootfs, I built
busybox and then did "make PREFIX=/tmp/fred/joe/chuck install".  It
installed without a problem.

Unless you can do at least some debugging of these issues, or give me
access to a test environment, there isn't much I can do.
