You are trying to rebuild an rpm from PLD, probably.

PLD has two annoying differences:

   1. they use tmpdir instead of _tmppath in the BuildRoot:
   2. they use rpmcflags instead of optflags.

With Mandrake, the biggest annoyances are:

   1. %make
   2. Mandrake menu code.
 
I always end up hacking the spec files, because I am reluctant to
create .src.rpms that are dependent on my local config files.

Can't we all just play by the same (macro) rules? :-)
