Description (last modified by )
I found that rpm-build.i386 version 4.8.1-22.oc00 doesn't seem to support automatically loading macros from the /@unixroot/usr/lib/rpm/marcos.d directory.
Some packages install various macros useful for maintaining .spec files. In particular, the texinfo package (info sub package) installs a file called macros.info that contains macros useful for handling documentation in Info format (%info_requires, %info_post, %info_preun) which save some monkey work and about to be used in nearly every .spec file (here is more info: http://trac.netlabs.org/rpm/wiki/RpmHowToPackagers#HandlingdocumentationinInfoformat).
We need to make this mechanism work.

This feature has been added in rpm 4.10.x, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846679
maybe we can add newer paths (lib/rpmrc.c around#430)
to our branch.
