You could override %optflags (aka $RPM_OPT_FLAGS) from the command
line via --define 'optflags YOUR_OPTIONS_HERE' or twiddle the CFLAGS
setting in the rpm build section to add/remove flags you don't want.

For reproducibility, I'd recommend doing this in the spec file rather
than via the command line.  Otherwise, you could forget what you've
done a few months down the road. :)
