Ok, this can all be fixed with an addition to ~/.rpmmacros

%_builddir    %{_tmppath}/BUILD

of course, you can use whatever path you want to, this was just from the
example given to me by a friend who does a lot of this stuff (%_tmppath
is usually set to /var/tmp/).  Make sure the directory exists, of
course.

Anyway, I just tested this and it works perfectly.  all of the rpm's
still go into the /usr/src/redhat tree, but because the build happens
outside of /usr/src, the files all got packaged properly.

yay!
