It seems no_rpm_opt_flags is not a 'first-class' option (whatever this may be ;-).
According to the source no_rpm_opt_flags is a negative option - inverting the value
of use_rpm_opt_flags. You should probably try to add the line
  use_rpm_opt_flags = 0
in the setup.cfg file (but this is simply guesswork).
