You're substituting some lines multiple times with the given sequence of
substitutions.  For instance:

start with:
  LIBDIR=@prefix@/lib
This line runs:
  sed -i -e 's!@prefix@/lib!%{_libdir}!' "$f"
And you have:
  LIBDIR=/usr/lib64
Then this line runs:
  sed -i -e 's!/usr/lib!%{_libdir}!' "$f"
And you have:
  LIBDIR=/usr/lib6464

Ignacio's message has a solution for this since it checks that the "lib"
pattern doesn't have a "6" after it.
