I don't know that this changed in any specific version but only changes
if you invoke as root or as user. In theory, you should not be compiling
(which means building rpm packages too) as root because that can cause
all sorts of issues.

I can't help with toaster as I am quite happy with postfix and
cyrus-imapd and would never consider such an antiquated beast.
