When make install is run during package building, DESTDIR parameter is passed, e.g.:
$ rpm --eval %makeinstall_std
make DESTDIR=/root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-rosa2016.1.x86_64-buildroot install
Without DESTDIR build scripts tried to create symlinks outside of the build root:
make[3]: Entering directory '/tmp/abf/rpmbuild/BUILD/cifs-utils-6.10'
(cd /sbin && ln -sf mount.cifs mount.smb3)
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'mount.smb3': Permission denied
The same fix was introduced in Arch Linux package when updating from 6.9 to 6.10:
