Well, no, not really. This gets unpacked into
$(rpm --eval %_topdir)/SOURCES
where '/usr/src/redhat' happens to a be default value of
%_topdir on Red Hat originated systems and happens to be defined
in /usr/lib/rpm/macros.
If you are doing any development work with rpm packages then you
really should not be working as root but you should define your own
%_topdir in ~/.rpmmacros and use a content of /usr/src/redhat only
as a template. Likely one day you will be really glad that you did. :-)
