%{buildroot} probably fits best in the "Other macros" section, because
it is a macro to be used inside the spec. Bug the %{_buildrootdir}
macros like the other RPM directory macros is afaik supposed to be used
only with rpmbuild --define to change the behaviour of rpmbuild.
I have updated the draft to address this, but now it is getting ugly to
only merge some changes.
I also changed some other issues and mentioned two, that I did not yet
address: %{optflags} does not match the real expanded value and it is
imho bad to have two macros for the same path, e.g. %{_usr} and
%{_prefix}.
