Ok, using dtrace, I was able to figure out what rpmbuild is doing:

If I want to set /workspace/rpmwork as the topdir (which would contain
SPECS, SOURCES, RPMS, etc), what should the contents of .rpmmacros be
?
I've tried the following:
topdir=/workspace/rpmwork
_topdir=/workspace/rpmwork
topdir:/workspace/rpmwork
_topdir:/workspace/rpmwork
None of the above have worked. What am I getting wrong ?
