How to set the rpmbuild destination folder

Question

I noticed rpmbuild (-bb and --buildroot options) creates the .rpm in different locations depending of what OS are you using:

• GNU/Linux Ubuntu <= 9.04: /usr/src/

Setting up the rpmbuild environment in /home/ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/need-rpm-package-for-php-version-5-2-7-and-up-on-redhat-5-1-a-766486/#13

Actually it is not recommended to use /usr/src/**. I.e. by using /home/[name]/rpms/ you can work as unprivileged user. No su or sudo is required to build packages.
