In the future, avoid building as superuser root. Your ordinary user account
should suffice.

The error messages are obvious, however. Your buildroot does not contain
the files specified in the %files section. That means they either have not
been installed to the specified locations, or the %install section has not
installed them at all.

It doesn't build with Fedora's global optflags. The packaging guidelines
contain a section about that.

It doesn't install into buildroot, but directly into /usr/local, and
that didn't fail because you've built as "root". You need to figure out
whether it just ignored your DESTDIR= definition (or whether the linked
spec file is not the one that produced your tudu.error log file) and
whether it needs patching (or whether %makeinstall would be a work-around).
Consult the Fedora packaging guidelines about %makeinstall.
