You mean %{_topdir}/pkgs/%{name} ? No, if you create "pkgs",
the package-specific subdirectory is created automatically when you
install a SRPM. It's magic. :-)
With the macros,
%_rpmtopdir %{_topdir}/pkgs/%{name}
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/install
%_builddir %{_topdir}/build
%_rpmdir %{_topdir}/rpms
%_srcrpmdir %{_topdir}/rpms/srpms
I only have to create the directory structure once, as usual:
mkdir -p %{_topdir}/{pkgs,build,install,rpms/srpms}
The arch-specific subdirs {i386,i686,noarch,...} are created as
needed by rpmbuild.

I haven't rebuilt all of Fedora Core, so I can't say. I've only seen
it in 3rd-party packages attempting to do strange things with the
build process. It's been so long since I had a problem, no package
comes to mind.
