Should we allow this to be overridden via an RPM macro specified at build time?

I'm not sure how this would play with osg-build, could we leave that for the next time?

if 0%{?osg}
%define xrootd_current_major 4
%endif
This should be sufficient (assuming this looks right to @matyasselmeci)

I thought that the idea was to be able to set the version number at build time

I think what @brianhlin wrote will work. I'm not sure what you mean by "RPM macro specified at build time".

This gets us halfway there: if someone wants to build this outside of an OSG build environment, they'll have to specify xrootd_current_major. @matyasselmeci is there a way to specify xrootd_current_major as an argument to osg-build?

Passing arbitrary --define options to rpmbuild and mock commands is doable but not currently implemented. You can currently work around it by defining those in your ~/.rpmmacros file.
Passing --defines to Koji builds is impossible.
I strongly caution against depending on users to define specific macros via the command line, since it harms reproducibility -- you have to remember what arguments you passed to rpmbuild. If you want to change something, edit the spec file.

It would just be nice to specify a single spec file that can support builds against XRootD 4 and XRootD 5. This will have to do, though.

Why are these lines necessary?

Not sure, this changes were in the osg svn repo for god knows how long and there is no mention of them in the changelog

I managed to get rid of the cd %{name}-%{version} by changing the %setup%. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=%{_lib}` is needed so that files get installed into /usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib.
NOTE: some of these fixes may already be implemented in the pending pull requests to the original repository. However, it contains a mix of things, so I chose to do an own fork for the moment. opensciencegrid#3 - enable correct library location in .../lib64/ - unpack tarball into correct version dir
This adds the requirements on the major version of XRootD.
I used as a base the spec file currently used in OSG which adds few other minor changes
