[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] 4.18.99: broken off-source-tree install target (Issue #2650)

[Panu Matilainen]

There used to be a comment in Fedora rpm.spec that apparently got lost in the cmake transition, but applies equally to cmake:

```
# Using configure macro has some unwanted side-effects on rpm platform
# setup, use the old-fashioned way for now only defining minimal paths.
./configure \
[...]
```

I'll that back there, but the moral of the story is, don't. Use Fedora %cmake that is. The configured values affect not just where rpm itself is installed but the configuration as to how other packages will be built, and it creates this mirror-in-mirror continuum that's just impossible to work with.
