RPM actually looks at the value of the %_topdir macro to see where the
root of it's building tree is. So, if you want to have your RPMs built
elsewhere (I generally build from ~/projects/redhat), set %_topdir in
~/.rpmmacros to override the value from the default /usr/lib/rpm/macros.
Note that you need to have the subdirectories (BUILD/ RPMS/<arch>,
SRPMS/ SOURCES/, and SPECS) already created, otherwise, rpm will
complain when you try to build a package.
