If you wish to move to "human readable" names, then the specific
functionalities tied to arch in rpmrc need to be separately configured.
There's only a few critical values that rpmrc provides a default for
* (per-arch) optflags (like in this issue)
* (global) macrofiles search patterns
and the rest of rpmrc is largely arch/os compatibility related to scoring, with
some deeply obscure platform name/alias mappings buried in lib/rpmrc.c.
>From experience in eliminating rpmrc configuration:
I suspect that distro macro dialect deviations have progressed everywhere to
the point that it is impossible to build without installing that distro's macro
configuration which typically overrides %optflags (and usually provides C++ and
other compiler flags).
The arch scoring is/was the hardest to implement satisfactorily.
And of course every distro I am aware of chose to repatch rpm to re-add the
good old rpmrc "stuff". Old code never dies, oh well, I tried.
