I'm building and installing the xserver and drivers in the same run,
both into $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/..., i.e. ususally something like
/var/tmp/xorg-modular-<version>-build/usr/...

This way it's possible to build it as a regular user and it doesn't
touch the currently installed system, on which the build is done
(clean build system).
