It's unclear if this particular incantation is supported.  Can you try
extracting the spec from the tarball and then building it via:

  rpmbuild -bb gnucash.spec

I bet that's some magic from the rpmbuild script looking inside the tarball
and getting confused.   It could also be something about how we packaged
libgsf and (potentially) libgoffice.

It is being maintained, but not readily tested.  And certainly not tested
the way you are testing it.
