You rock! Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for...I missed
the macros section of the man page for rpmbuild.
In fedora, they've got a distro-specific file in there:
Macro Configuration
/usr/lib/rpm/macros
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros
/etc/rpm/macros
~/.rpmmacros
Here's the design discussion about the change:

Your config snippet worked great! My RPM installs now. :-)
I'll keep testing and let you guys know how it goes.
Cheers,
