Grepping through spec files from CVS devel/ shows there are a handful of

were considered "backwards compatibility stuff" in 1998 (yes, eleven years
ago) already, please change them to use the %{version} and %{release} macros
instead.
The packages using these ancient macros are:
- kernel
- kernel-xen-2.6 (dead package?)
yes
- glibc32, glibc64 (dead packages?)
yes
- fmt-ptrn
- libunwind
Rpm >= 4.8.x removes the support for the ancient %{PACKAGE_*} macros so
packages still using them will fail to build with it.

I think a proven packager or someone with chuck norris power can fix
the other's packager's
