Yes, it should be rpmbuild --rebuild ...
If you want rpmbuild to clean all the files used during the build process,
then run:
rpmbuild --rmsource --clean --rebuild --define 'tcl 1' postgresql-8.1.0-2PGDG.src.rpm

AFAICS. If you can see any more differences, please let us know and we'll
fix the document.

rpmbuild [blah blah] /path/to/source_rpm
