adapter, use realtive symlink
[...]
-ln -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/easy_install-%{py3_ver}
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/easy_install
+ln -sf easy_install-%{py3_ver} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/easy_install

-ln -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/easy_install-%{py_ver}
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/easy_install
+ln -sf easy_install-%{py_ver} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/easy_install

Why symlink? There was a hard-link for purpose. No need for extra
redirection. And there are no relative hard links.
symlink is easier to figure out what the file is, py2 or py3 version.
similarily other stuff is symlinked as well when it comes for generic
name vs versioned name. even python itself:
ls -l /usr/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 22. nov 09:39 /usr/bin/python -> python2*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 22. nov 09:39 /usr/bin/python-config ->
python2-config*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 22. nov 09:39 /usr/bin/python-pip -> pip*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 22. nov 09:39 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.7*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 22. nov 09:39 /usr/bin/python2-config ->
python2.7-config*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.0K 31. okt 10:06 /usr/bin/python2.7*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.7K 31. okt 10:05 /usr/bin/python2.7-config*
and what's the purpose?
ps: rpm sucks when it comes to accounting free space using hardlinks
(see some old thread i wrote about git-core)
