rpmbuild --rebuild (file.src.rpm) (target <arch>) <--the "=" dropped

i.e. rpmbuild --rebuild pine-4.44-14.80.0.src.rpm --target i686

rpmbuild -ta <file.tar.gz> OR <file.tar.bz2> (target <arch>)

rpmbuild -tb <file.tar.gz> OR <file.tar.bz2> (target <arch>)

rpmbuild -ba <file.spec) (target <arch>)

This changed awhile back. Can't remember when. About 7.0, 7.1 or 7.2 it
started using this.
