Well I don't think this is a big problem - new archs are only
added very occasionally (say max once or twice a year)
and anyway I would be happy to help maintain such a macro in redhat-rpm-config.

Adding ghc-rpm-macros to @buildsys-build seems like overkill
and anyway releng are basically vetoing this.

I talked to dgilmore and he thinks the macro should really go into rpm itself,
though not sure if upstream would accept the macro.
Personally I still believe it would be easier for it to live in
redhat-rpm-config
for Fedora.
