They cannot be using mock, otherwise it wouldn't pick up the newer, alien 
libstdc++ from Ubuntu 12.04. Besides, if they did it would all have 
magically worked (or not have built at all).

     Version     : 27.0.1453.110
     Build Host: lin64build12.chrome.corp.google.com

vs

     Version     : 28.0.1500.70
     Build Host: precise64build2.chrome.corp.google.com
     RPM version: 4.9.1.1

So the RPM version pretty much gives away that they do not build on RHEL. 
And rpm-4.9.1.1 is exactly what ships with Ubuntu Precise Pangolin (aka 
Ubuntu 12.04).

Need more proof ? :-)
