I'm building a native code package with the nebula.os-package plugin for gradle. I need to specify that glibc of the correct architecture is a requirement. I tried the obvious 

requires 'glibc%{?_isa}'

but then rpm -qpR foo.rpm unhelpfully results in

glibc%{?_isa}

Using %{_isa} without the question mark is no different.

Open issues 136 and 227 in the gitHub repo are about this, but no maintainer has commented in those threads. Has anybody found a workaround?

Remove the single quote; you're telling rpmbuild not to parse variables within the string.

For your future knowledge, the leading ? means "it's OK if this variable doesn't exist; just don't use it."
