cvs through ssh in fakeroot

Hi,

When using cvs with ssh in a PKGBUILD,

CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d $_cvsroot -Q -z3 co -D $pkgver -f $_cvsmod || return 1

fakeroot makes cvs try to access root's homedir for known hosts information. This obviously doesn't work, and I have to type 'yes' to precede:

Could not create directory '/root/.ssh'.
The authenticity of host 'savannah.gnu.org (199.232.41.3)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 80:5a:b0:0c:ec:93:66:29:49:7e:04:2b:fd:ba:2c:d5.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/root/.ssh/known_hosts).

Is there any way to get around this? Has anybody successfully used cvs through ssh in a PKGBUILD? Building as root is of course not an option because of the risk of barfing all over the file system.
