According Rex who implemented the %cmake macro https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2007-March/msg00044.html I must admit that I agree that out-of-tree builds is not very useful in RPM packaging case, as you always scratch the build directory. Implementing out-of-tree builds who result in having to move between directories during package building which could error-prone.
