Thanks Michael. I was following old docs.
I ended up using this format for my goal:
rpmbuild -ba --define "_topdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/5.5.0.0" <templatefileName>
We build various versions of the product on the same system and sometimes the rpms collide. So the above format works for us now ;-)

Those aren't rpmrc entries. You're confusing rpmrc with macros.
