command level as written above, e.g. add "--without debug" like in

rpmbuild --rebuild --without debug foo.src.rpm

or

rpmbuild -ba --without debug foo.spec

you'll also need in ~/.rpmmacros (or /etc/rpm/macros wherever you
prefer):

%_varlibdir /var/lib
%_varcachedir /var/cache
%_initdir /etc/rc.d/init.d
%_logrotatedir /etc/logrotate.d
%_logdir /var/log

I'd also add (but this is highly customizable):

%_specdir       .
%_sourcedir     .
%_rpmdir        .
%_srcrpmdir     .
%_builddir      /var/tmp/builddir.%(eval "hostname -s")
