+*%\_\_*_NAME_*_*​_TYPE_*_opts* _BODY_
+	Pass additional command line switches to the _TYPE_ generator.
+
+	Note that this macro should NOT be used when writing a file attribute file.
+	Instead, just pass the required arguments directly on the generator's command
+	line when defining it.
+
+_REGEX_ is an extended *regex*(7) string, macro-expanded on use. Possible _TYPE_
+values are listed in the *GENERATORS* section above, under *Types*.
+
+# COMPATIBILITY NOTES
+
+A legacy generator interface is available but deprecated in the RPM 4.x series,
+and removed from the RPM 6.x series. This interface, also called _external_,

It's a bit more subtle than that: the legacy generator interface is still present in 6.x, but it's only available for *v4 packages*.
