Weird. But that's the dain bread spc file parser that has no grammar.

Perhaps quotes for CC="%{__cc}" might help.

Adding a %trace toggle will permit you to see the expansions, like

%trace
%{__make} CC=%{__cc}  CFLAGS="${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}"
%trace

Hint: Watchout for WinDoze induced CR's (aka \r), The spec file parser
behaves very strangely with \r's at EOL, all sorts of curious problems occur.
