Not in my opinion, no. But maybe it's a "think about what you are doing" 
thing to do. In particular, overriding "command" macros like "__cc" will 
probably affect the portability of your spec file/source rpm.

In any case, your example definition is not quiet correct. You want

%define __cc gcc32

not

%define %{__cc} gcc32
