Is this on the TODO for an upcoming release?

I'm hesitant to do this because I don't want to mess with the default install,
since I don't want to use the goofy optflags all the time, just when I build
one tree.

What I'm really trying to do is to have the optflags values in
/usr/lib/rpm/%_target/macros show up as the defaults when I
build a package like so:
  
   rpm --rebuild --target foo-redhat-linux bar.src.rpm

but this isn't working either.  Is this part of the same brokenness?  How do I
go about making those optflags be used?
