stefan maybe in your scripts you can add
cat foo.spec | sed -e 's|/usr/bin|%{_bindir}|' > foo.spec.new ;mv -f
foo.spec.new foo.spec
in your rebuild scripts on alpha and i586.
same goes for /usr/sbin, /usr/info, etc.
yiou can fihnd a list in /usr/lib/rpm.
just remember that some are already partly prefix-ized, that imeans some
have %{_prefix}/bin or %{prefix}/bin so you will need to consider those case
as well.
