You don't need separate partition since chroot works far better and it
is almost the same.

The only thing you need is to check your work for SPEC and configure
mistakes.

This is wrong to throw away chroot because somebody made a mistake only.

I see no reason to have copy of /usr/src since you are able to block
concurent build of the same packages which is normal IMHO (you have to
have different chroots for different archs).
