I bet the problem is that in your case the macro _smp_mflags is set to

	-j X

with X > 1, and this triggers a problem with parallel building using make.
So there is a real problem with rrdtool in the sense that it doesn't build 
with -j X (with X > 1).

But you can avoid this problem by setting _smp_mflags to "-j 1". You can 
do:

	rpmbuild -ba --define "_smp_mflags -j 1" rrdtool.spec

And I hope the developers can fix the issue.
