Right, rpmbuild is the correct command on RHL 8.0 and newer.  I do a lot 
of building still on RHL 7.3 systems where you can still use "rpm" for 
the build commands.  I figured that was self-evident, sorry.

Hmm, that is a bug I guess.  It's real easy to add options to RPM due to 
  the "popt" interface, and I guess someone forgot to document this when 
they added it.  See /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-4.2.1 for examples of this.
