My problem building package "bind" is solved.
I had usr/lib/rpm/*-linux/macros.rpmnew files waiting for years.
Thank you GM and everyone else on the list!

For the record, my RPM is rpm-4.2-owl14, but see embarrassing detail below.
The problem was so serious and so basic that it was invisible to me:
# cd /usr/lib/rpm
# fgrep -l initrddir i?86-linux/*
i386-linux/macros.rpmnew
i486-linux/macros.rpmnew
i586-linux/macros.rpmnew
i686-linux/macros.rpmnew
# # !!! NOT GOOD !!!
# ls -l i?86-linux/* # athlon-linux/ and noarch-linux/ OK, that makes sense

# # Yikes, been using 2-year old Owl rpm macros !!!
# for f in 3 4 5 6; do mv -fv i${f}86-linux/macros.rpmnew i${f}86-linux/macros; done
`i386-linux/macros.rpmnew' -> `i386-linux/macros'
`i486-linux/macros.rpmnew' -> `i486-linux/macros'
`i586-linux/macros.rpmnew' -> `i586-linux/macros'
`i686-linux/macros.rpmnew' -> `i686-linux/macros'
Now that the RPM macros are finally in place, package "bind" builds fine.
Next: scan entire system for *.rpmnew files, buildworld a few times, and
in the future, I should deal with *.rpmnew files sooner, not later!
Amazing I made it this long without obvious build problems. Now that's a
stable build environment! :) Thanks again very much.
