As a more gneral comment, why not try something *much* simpler for
your first rpmbuild?
Try something that doesn't use an alternative compiler, doesn't
require lots of environment variables, and doesn't use a new spec file
that has never been successfully tested.
Maybe just take a working spec file for another project and run
rpmbuild, and check the results. That would reveal if you're looking
in the wrong place for the output, and you wouldn't waste time looking
for problems in the spec file if you know the spec file is already
correct.
Also try --short-circuit builds for the individual %build and %install
sections. "rpmbuild -bi --short-circuit specfile" is extremely helpful
for debugging problems in %install and %files sections as it skips the
earlier successful %build stage.
