Unfortunately this does not work with rpm and rpmbuild version 4.3.2
The macrofiles entry is overwritten with the new macrofiles settings :(
Therefor i lose the default macros like _bindir etc.

I have to build on a fedora 3 box atm, but will try use a chroot
to build my rpms with the new version of rpm you suggested.
