just a precision regarding the --define arg which sets the "_topdir" variables.
This is needed because if you don't put that rpmbuild will try to build
the RPM (binary or source) in the "standard" RPM tree which
for example is: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS on redhat or FC distros.
(unless the user defined its own ~/.rpmrc)
You do not want that because you do not usually have the right to write there.
under _topdir rpm expect to find the following subtree:
|-- BUILD
|-- RPMS
|   |-- noarch
|   `-- x86_64
|-- SOURCES
|-- SPECS
`-- SRPMS

and may be more or differents RPMS/<subdirs> depending on which
arch you are building.
