For that reason, I specify a different directory organization in
my ~/.rpmmacros file that incorporates %{name} in the path:
%_topdir /home/rugolsky/rpm
%_rpmtopdir %{_topdir}/pkgs/%{name}
%_sourcedir %{_rpmtopdir}
%_specdir %{_rpmtopdir}
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/install
%_builddir %{_topdir}/build
%_rpmdir %{_topdir}/rpms
%_srcrpmdir %{_topdir}/rpms/srpms
This breaks the occasional package, but is otherwise well worth it.

Bill Rugolsky
