[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Is there a way to dynamically evaluate macro? (#1687)

[Jan Palus]

What I'd like to achieve is to access `%buildsubdir` in `%prep` after `%setup` was called. It appears that RPM first parses and evaluates all macros in `%prep` and only then executes `%setup` which pushes `%buildsubdir`. So my question is there any way to defer macro expansion or is there some dynamic macro evaluation which would enable accessing `%buildsubdir` in `%prep`?

I'm aware `$PWD` is `%buildsubdir` after `%setup` however the goal is to create global macro which works in every spec irrespective of current working directory.
