Note that a lot of packages exist that do things like

   perl -pi -e "s|-O2|$RPM_OPT_FLAGS|" Makefile

in %prep.  Dunno about the effects, but just pointing out that
$RPM_OPT_FLAGS is sometimes used outside of %build.

(Yep, it would be better to do 's|-O2|\$(RPM_OPT_FLAGS)|' or something
else that doesn't use the actual value of $RPM_OPT_FLAGS at the time the
perl/sed'ing occurs).
