curl packaging under different location prefix

I am trying to build curl with OpenSSL RPM and install it in /opt location.
I have changed prefix and other macros as follows:

%define _prefix /opt
%define _datadir %{_prefix}/share
%define _datarootdir %{_prefix}/share
%define _mandir %{_datadir}/man
%define _defaultdocdir %{_datadir}/doc
%define _docdir %{_datadir}/doc
%define _infodir %{_datadir}/info

Curl binary and man page gets packaged for installation under /opt tree,
however, other doc pages get packaged using default /usr/share/doc
location.


* Listing files in resulting RPM
# rpm -qlp /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/curl-7.19.7-41.el6.x86_64.rpm
/opt/bin/curl
/opt/share/man/man1/curl.1
/usr/share/doc/curl-7.19.7
/usr/share/doc/curl-7.19.7/BUGS
/usr/share/doc/curl-7.19.7/FAQ
/usr/share/doc/curl-7.19.7/FEATURES


* Snippet of 'rpmbuild -ba' output:

/usr/src/redhat/BUILDROOT/curl-7.19.7-41.el6.x86_64/usr/share/doc/curl-7.19.7
+ exit 0



I am wondering why DOCDIR is getting set with usr/share path and how can I
change it to use /opt path. Am I missing anything in the macros definition?
Any pointers in solving this will be helpful.

- thanks,
