I propose we ship these macros in something like redhat-rpm-config for each release, so that when somebody is rebuilding a package on their system, the macros are defined correctly for whatever release they are running. If they are rebuilding for another release/distribution, they really should be using mock, and having redhat-rpm-config define the right things within their mock chroot.
