Au contraire, one has quite good control:
rpmbuild --define _topdir\ ${HOME}/redhat \
   --rebuild downloads/m4-1.4.8-1.src.rpm

There are other variables to refine the control, and rpmbuild looks at 
~/.rpmmacros where all this stuff can be made default.

However, I don't have a clear idea of what Peter's trying to do. 
However, he should read the docs mentioned in my sig before going further.
