Adding to Rudi Ahlers's & Akemi's suggestions, also define the distro while you are at it (.el4, .el5, etc.):
$ rpmdev-setuptree
$ echo "%dist .el5" >> ~/.rpmmacros
$ cat ~/.rpmmacros
%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild
%_smp_mflags -j3
%__arch_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
%dist .el5
