I never bother creating and managing a chroot environment for my RPM packages.
For local/testing package builds, I use only the "rpmbuild" command, and a
~/RPM directory structure with the usual layout.

For real building in several architectures (i586, x86_64) several distros, and
several versions, I use the openSUSE build service. You provide the spec and
the sources, and it builds the packages and publishes the results if
succeeded. Here are some pointers:
