No.  I tried the %_rpmdir macro and got:
    

The macro is %_topdir, not %_rpmdir.
  

I guess I'm confused.  Are you saying that %_topdir is the macro which specifies where binary rpm's are to be placed once built?

Using:

echo '%_topdir\t'`pwd` > rpm-macros
rpmbuild --macros=rpm-macros -bb -vv peakstream.spec

I'm still getting:
error: Could not open /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/peakstream-0-0.i386.rpm: Permission denied

this is:

RPM version 4.3.3
