I haven't tested this.

I did this, then the build nspr rpm's have the correct release tag,
which improved the situation a bit.

But when I build nss-util src.rpm it refers to the nspre version
with the old naming scheme and the build stops.

My solution was to build a higher version "1" of:

centos-release-7-5.1804.el7.centos.1.i686.rpm

which contains the correct /etc/rpm/marcos.dist.

(A rebuild with a higher number was sufficient)

Now it seems to work.
