Then the .spec file is broken. The %buildroot path is normally always a
relative path.

What do you call "default .rpmmacros file"? There is no such default
file, you have to create it your own when creating an rpmbuild
environment for a mortal user.

I didn't experiment, but wouldn't wonder if your %buildroot definition
in the .rpmmacros file will be overridden by any definition inside a
.spec file.
At least your setup is very unusual. Please see
http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/buildtree/
for instructions how to properly create non-privileged user rpmbuild
environments.

Yes, the %_topdir has to be set to point to a different directory than
/usr/src/redhat, because that directory structure is owned by root. The
custom %_topdir then must contain the same directories as
/usr/src/redhat does. Thats all.
