in most of RPMs I build I have pretty complicated rules of file

find/grep/sed then any combination of excludes.
But we were talking about *his* situation, not yours, and your
suggestion is clearly wrong for that case.
Besides it keeps SPEC file portable for those old systems that run
RPM 4.0 (which I have quite a few).
Again, not applicable to his situation.

Gentlemen! They were both good suggestions, and I thank you equally.
I decided to go with the %exclude suggestion, just because it's "new and
improved", and to give reassurance to whomever might have added it and
then had second thoughts that it was indeed useful... ;-)
The globbing that %exclude uses is somewhat limited, i.e. it doesn't
allow .{a,la} expansions, so in that case, using find/echo with egrep -v
might have been useful... had things gotten any hairier, I would have
probably used a dynamically generated list. Especially if my build were
generating fat binaries (i.e. both i686 and x86_64) and I needed to
triage them...
