I don't know what this is supposed to do, but having it generates
an error:

RPM build errors:
    create archive failed on file /var/tmp/freeradius-
root/usr/share/doc/freeradius-1.1.3/examples/iplanet.ldif: cpio:
open failed - Bad file descriptor

I don't know if this deletion is so much of a problem. While
building via rpmbuild, the source tarball is (normally) in
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, the tarball is expanded into
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD, and the (temporary) build root (which is
what the spec variable $RPM_BUILD_ROOT points to) is in
/var/tmp/freeradius-root. The deletion happens in this directory,
which is supposed to be deleted anyway after the build. The
*source* directory then does not get affected by the packaging.
