What I meant was whether it would make sense to have either
your sed script included upstream or making other changes
upstream that would allow you to avoid sed substitution in the
spec file. I am of course assuming that this is a common issue
which makes sense to be adjusted in OTP upstream.

>From your spec file:
#   Correct the paths in the scripts
for dir in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/lib/erlang/bin
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/lib/erlang/erts*/bin
do
    cd $dir
    for f in erl start
    do
	if [ -x $f ]
	then
	    sed "s,$RPM_BUILD_ROOT,," <$f >$$
	    mv $$ $f
	    chmod 755 $f
	fi
    done
done
