You could either try to re-alias rm for rpm:
   alias rm "rm -f" # not wise :-)
or you could put a dir in your path,
   export PATH=`pwd`:$PATH
create your own rm,
   echo '#!/bin/sh' > rm
   echo '/bin/rm -f $*' >> rm
   chmod +x rm
and re-run rpm.

I'm not guaranteeing either of these will work, but those would be my 
avenues.  Remember, rpm just takes the specfile and runs the commands 
therein.  And most specfiles I've seen don't specifically set the paths to 
the commands they run unless they have to.
