This worked. I am wondering if it is possible to export CC, AS, LD and
any other variables without having to patch the .spec file? Sourcing a
file listing all the variables is one option. Is there something that
rpmbuild can import in its environment before starting the build,
perhaps?

Thanks for your reply,
