AFAIS, rpm-4.0.x chokes on the line continuation char.
Haven't tried it, but what if you do:
%define __os_install_post "./brp-custom-compress; ./brp-custom-strip"
and dodge the issue?
To be tried.
However, I've been told [1]
%define __os_install_post ./brp-custom-compress; ./brp-custom-strip was working, but haven't had a chance this try it yet.
Another obvious work-around would be not to use __os_install_post and to explicitly call the brp* scripts:
%define __os_install_post %{nil} ... %install ... ./brp-custom-compress ./brp-custom-strip
Does anybody recall since when (which rpm version, which RHL/FC release) this issue had been fixed?

[1] I don't have rh7.3, I just received a report from a rh7.3 user who is trying to build one of my rpms.
