The issue though is that it makes the spec file dependent upon third
party macros since they aren't "vanilla" macros.

%__make simply expands to /usr/bin/make (I _assume_ it expands to
wherever gnu make is typically installed on the *nix variant but I'm not
positive about that) - I'm not sure what mandrake's %make expands to,
I'll have boot my mandrake live CD and see.

CPU optimizations etc. can be used in Fedora/vanilla rpm with the
%optflags macro which is called by the %configure macro.

So if %configure is used - whatever the default %optflags are specified
in the .rpmmacros (or system config) are in fact used - in my case, the
%optflags expands to -O2 -g -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 (and is set as
both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in %configure)
