Is this a SuSE specific rpm you are trying to build?
Here is what the rpmbuild manpage (FC5) has to say about --target:
--target PLATFORM
When building the package, interpret PLATFORM as
arch-vendor-os and set the macros %_target,
%_target_cpu, and %_target_os accordingly.
What does the .spec file look like for the rpm? Does it use
those anywhere in the spec file?
