In principle, all I'd have to do is make distribution
ABI_BUILD_VERSION=... ABI_DIST_TARGET=rpm

that never worked, I gave up trying.
Tried agina, and it still doesn't work.

The problem seems to be in BAD usage of rpm:
 1. build dir does not have to be /usr/src/redhat
 2. builder should not be the root user
 3. at least %_topdir should be respected in ~builder/.rpmmacros
