We at SUSE use the following macro to make rpm delete the build root
automatically:

%__spec_build_pre %{___build_pre}\
%{?buildroot:  %__rm -rf "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"\
  %__mkdir_p `dirname "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"`\
  %__mkdir "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"\
}

(This actually fixes a tiny security issue, that's why there are
two mkdir calls...)

Cheers,
  Michael.
