Conflicting _target in rpmrc for new Solaris distro

[Garrett Conaty <gmccal yahoo com>]

Hi,

For the last couple months I've been working on
building an RPM distro to sit on top of Solaris.  I'm
now updating my rpm source rpm to do platform-specific
macros but am running into a slight problem.

Essentially the %{_target} value that is getting
interpreted in the rpmrc  'macrofiles:' line is
different than the value for %{_target} if i run 'rpm
--eval %{_target}.

output follows:

RPMRC VALUES:
macrofiles: /opt/rpmsw/lib/rpm/sun4u-solaris2.8

but {%_target} becomes sparc-solaris2.8

So essentially my per-platform macros never get parsed
because they're all under sparc-solaris2.8 and such. 
Any thoughts?

An ugly workaround would be for me to just make a
symlink in my %{_libdir}/rpm from
sparc-mydistro-solaris to sun4u-solaris2.8 but I'd
rather if it wore fixed upstream.

thanks in advance,
Garrett Conaty
