Gave this a try, and the build runs to the end, but then bombs out 
complaining about missing files:

RPM build errors:
     File not found by glob: /var/tmp/gnucash-1.9.6-root/usr/share/xml/qsf/*

I had set these three parameters to enabled:

%define _with_postgres 1
%define _with_ofx 1
%define _with_hbci 1

I see that the tarball contains two spec files:

./lib/libgsf-1.12.3/libgsf-1.spec
./packaging/gnucash.spec

I ran into this problem while sorting out the RPM build for Apache httpd 
(which contained the apr and apr-util libraries, both containing their 
own spec files). The workaround was to delete the extra spec files (in 
this case, it would be libgsf-1.spec) during the packaging process.
