rpm has depricated rpm -b series Build options for almost two
years -- these options have gone away, and are not coming
back.

rpm is, in effect, now just a case statement handler to fire
off the correct binary to handle a given function.  There are
too many option variants and not enough letters to cleanly
maintain back compatability.  (This is not stricly what is 
happening, but is close enough for proper analysis)

   see:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59606

where I argued the other side of this debate, and did not 
prevail.

Please use:

   rpmbuild -bt freeradius-0.5.tar.gz
