Trying to build some RPMs here from GEMs I'm seeing the following complaint from rpmbuild-utility:

• /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
  Binary file /home/mi/rpmbuild/ti_ruby_gems/BUILDROOT/ti_ruby22-rubygem-rake-10.4.2-1.x86_64/data/packages/ti_ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/doc/rake-10.4.2/rdoc/js/search_index.js.gz matches
  Binary file /home/mi/rpmbuild/ti_ruby_gems/BUILDROOT/ti_ruby22-rubygem-rake-10.4.2-1.x86_64/data/packages/ti_ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/doc/rake-10.4.2/rdoc/js/navigation.js.gz matches

  Found '/home/mi/rpmbuild/ti_ruby_gems/BUILDROOT/ti_ruby22-rubygem-rake-10.4.2-1.x86_64' in installed files; aborting

Indeed, those three .js.gz all contain fill string referring to the location of the original (uncompressed) file.

Note, that the references are not inside the .js files -- but in the js.gz (likely inserted by zlib, when writing out gz-header). This should be fixed to avoid leaking the location of the originals, reduce occupied space, and, indeed, avoid freaking-out rpmbuild.

I submitted this PR [1] a while ago to fix this issue.

If you still have this problem, try with rdoc-6.0.0.beta2 and report again. Thank you.
