/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc is "factory defaults", custom additions can be

b) per-host rpmrc (typically /etc/rpmrc)
c) per-user rpmrc (~/.rpmrc)
It seemed to me that the way the logic for -target worked was that it
looked for a file of that name ONLY under /usr/lib/rpm (at least I saw
no attempt to look elsewhere where I ran an strace on RPM).
Oh you mean the "platform target" stuff - rpm's terminology in this area
is woefully confused and overloaded. There's no similar
default/per-host/per-user system for the platform macros, those need to
go in /usr/lib/rpm/platform/ (drop the "platform" part for older versions).
The location is controlled by the macro search path, hardwired in the
source, but it is possible to override the whole thing with
--macros=<path> directive. Just bear in mind there are quite a few
places the path needs to cover and the order is important. Here's the
default macro search path for 4.8.x:
