To check and see what it evaluates to:

[rpmbuild at telesto ~]$ rpm --eval '%_libdir'
/usr/lib

To see how it's constructed:

rpmbuild at telesto ~]$ egrep '^%_libdir' /usr/lib/rpm/i386-linux/macros
%_libdir                %{_exec_prefix}/%{_lib}
[rpmbuild at telesto ~]$ egrep '^%_exec_prefix' /usr/lib/rpm/i386-linux/macros
%_exec_prefix           %{_prefix}
[rpmbuild at telesto ~]$ egrep '^%_prefix' /usr/lib/rpm/i386-linux/macros
%_prefix                /usr

So you'll want to go take a look at:
  /usr/lib/rpm/macros
and
  /usr/lib/rpm/i386-linux/macros (if you're building i386 rpms) 
  /usr/lib/rpm/x86_64-linux/macros if you're building x86_64 rpms)
