I've got it in my home directory. It's there because it works :-)
You do have other options. Here's a grep of the rpm executable search for
the rpmmacros string:
ewilts@corpftp ewilts]$ strings /bin/rpm | grep rpmmacros
/usr/lib/rpm/macros:/usr/lib/rpm/%{_target_platform}/macros:/etc/rpm/macros:/etc/rpm/macros.specspo:/etc/rpm/macros.db1:/etc/rpm/%{_target_platform}/macros:~/.rpmmacros
/usr/lib/rpm/macros defintes %_topdir to be %{_usrsrc}/redhat so you could do
a system-wide change by editing the global macros file.
