At the moment you called rpmbuild, $new_variable_new didn't exist, did it? The %prep, %build, %install, and others are scripts that rpmbuild creates, and executes as outside programs.

And you can set _build_name_fmt to the output of a script too, with something like: %define _build_name_fmt %(echo pkg) -- lfr 0/0
