Yes, I think this is the underlying cause.
This "well known" feature of RPM (that macros are expanded, even when
commented out) wasn't known to me. It is also inconsistently
documented; c.f.
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-specref.html
and
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/ch-rpm-specref.html
[Unfortunately, it seems nearly impossible to report this inconsistency
to whoever maintains the Max RPM documentation, so the incorrect
documentation will likely linger, *sigh*]
That all said, given how macros are expanded, I think it's fair to say
that the previous successful builds worked-by-accident, and there is no
regression.
Sorry for the noise.
Paul.
