CVS. (See below)

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

Well, we don't actually set all macros to 1. That's the only difference,
AFAICS. If you can see any more differences, please let us know and we'll
fix the document.

It does not matter:

rpmbuild [blah blah] /path/to/source_rpm
