[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] rpm-4.16.0a regression in rpmbuild: "Tag takes single token only" (#1167)

[Panu Matilainen]

I'm don't know what such a change would be.

You're getting that error because %mkrel is undefined, for whatever reason - the error message clearly shows its not getting expanded at all.

This is trivial to demonstrate:
```
[pmatilai🎩︎lumikko SPECS]$ cat relmacro.spec 
Name: relmacro
Version: 1.0
Release: %{mkrel 1}
Summary: %{name}
License: foo
%description
%files 
[pmatilai🎩︎lumikko SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb relmacro.spec 
error: line 3: Tag takes single token only: Release: %{mkrel 1}
[pmatilai🎩︎lumikko SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --define "mkrel() 1 2" relmacro.spec 
error: line 3: Tag takes single token only: Release: 1 2
[pmatilai🎩︎lumikko SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --define "mkrel() 1" relmacro.spec

+ RPM_EC=0
++ jobs -p
+ exit 0
```

As to why it's not getting defined I dont know, there aren't any macro path etc changes in 4.16 that I can remember. I don't know where Mageia defines that macro, but --with-vendor=<name> to configure is one thing that could affect it. 

I'm not ruling out a bug, I just can't think of anything even remotely related in 4.16.
