Alas, that's true. When I tried to make an RPM package of OmniORB where the
build process takes something like 2 hours I was especially amused about
--short-circuit not working with -bb. I was surprised that I could make sense
of the RPM source and since then I modify my RPM with the following patch. It
enables --short-cuircuit for "-bb" and "-ba".

diff -r -C 3 ../rpm-3.0.6.orig/rpm.c ./rpm.c
