%{buildroot} seems to be preferred these days over $RPM_BUILD_ROOT.
The value comes from either the spec file header:
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-buildroot
or from the command line:
rpmbuild --buildroot DIRECTORY ...
or you could set it in ~/.rpmmacros.
Common practice is to set it in the spec file.
