They're not hardcoded (at least on my system, RH7.3 with
rpm-4.0.4-7x.18). In fact, they are defined in
/usr/lib/rpm/(arch)-linux/macros, and except for _sysconfdir,
_localstatedir et _oldincludedir, they all rely on other macros to
update themselves should you choose another _prefix.
Raul, another way you could install while doing the RPM is via the
%makeinstall macro rather than a manual "make install". Same thing
applies to %configure vs "./configure". All the dirs are already given,
and as a bonus, your spec file will be smaller and more easily
manageable.
FYI, the format of the directory passing of the %makeinstall macro is
make prefix=%(?buildroot:%{buildroot}}%{_prefix} ... install,
which is close to what you had originally.
I believe using those %configure and %makeinstall macros are the proper
way to use rpm nowadays.
