In rpm5 packaging _*dir macros were defined relative to _prefix.
In rpm.org rpm/platform/*-linux/macros files define absolute _*dir macros
(instead of relative to %{_prefix}):

| # ---- configure macros.
| #
| %_prefix                /usr
| %_exec_prefix           /usr
| %_bindir                /usr/bin
| %_sbindir               /usr/sbin
| %_libexecdir            /usr/libexec
| %_datarootdir           %{_prefix}/share
| %_datadir               /usr/share
| %_sysconfdir            /etc
| %_sharedstatedir        /var/lib
| %_localstatedir         /var
| %_lib                   lib
| %_libdir                /usr/lib
| %_includedir            /usr/include
| %_oldincludedir         /usr/include
| %_infodir               /usr/share/info
| %_mandir                /usr/share/man

Is it intentional change?

meson doesn't allow --{bin,sbin,include,libexec,data,info,man}dir outside --prefix,
so in case of cross* packages I needed to additionally redefine more macros, even
though some dirs are not actually used (just %meson macro passes them).
