Can I change configure options with rpmbuild

I want to rebuild the php-mysql rpm, which i did successfully. I had to
up2date --get-source php. Then I had to either download whatever
packages i was missing, or remove references to them out of the spec
file. Basically all i need to comment out is pgsql and oracle. (or
maybe just pgsql).

php-mysql is them created succesfully using mysql-5.0 libraries.

I want to make this an automated process. I don't want to have to touch
the spec file everytime.. Is there i way i can pass flags to rpmbuild to
do this for me?

I tried all of the following:
rpmbuild --without pgsql --nodeps -bb php.spec
rpmbuild --with pgsql=no --nodeps -bb php.spec
rpmbuild --with-pgsql=no --nodeps -bb php.spec
rpmbuild --without pgsql --nodeps -bb php.spec

I can't get it to work. If it were just this i wouldn't care. But if
i'm going to recompile i would like be able to nit-pick a little more.

Using RHEL4 ES Up2date

I would simply open the specfile and go to the configure [%configure] line
and add it:

%build
../configure --without pgsql

OR

%build
%configure --without pgsql

Use

$ rpmbuild --rcfile sanspgsql.rc ...
$ rpmbuild --rcfile withpgsql.rc ...

You can set macros in the rcfile that the spec file will then obey.
