I haven't looked at the rpm source at all yet, but I think the
buildroot is one that can be "fixed" just using a macro.
From /usr/lib/rpm/macros:
# ---- Optional rpmrc macros.
# Macros that are initialized as a side effect of rpmrc and/or spec
# file parsing.
#
# Configurable build root path, same as BuildRoot: in a specfile.
# (Note: the configured macro value will override the spec file value).
#
#%buildroot
If the packaging committee wanted to make a standard buildroot and
enforce it have the build systems set %buildroot. Then all the
BuildRoot values in spec files could just be removed (at the very
least they should be irrelevant since they will be overridden
according to the comments in /usr/lib/rpm/macros).
