The bug if it is a bug is not in the buildsystem. but will be in fedora- release where the macros are defined. your usage as pointed out in the ticket is incorrect the buildsystem itself has no knowledge of things like rpm macros. all it knows is what is fed into the chroot and what it gets out. nothing more. if you have the appropriate hardware you should be able to reproduce the issue in mock since thats all koji uses. if you dont have ppc64 you could exclude the arch you have and do a mock build.
