Are you saying rpmbuild -ba x.spec is generating these errors ?

IMO, make install might need additional parameters to cause it to insert
the compiled files into the build-root, or you may need to properly
setup the rpm environment for devel, so that $RPM_BUILD_ROOT is within
your temporary build area, not your live system.
Fedora has a strong policy on package development; one item is the
necessity of:
BuildRoot: %(mktemp -ud %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-XXXXXX)

}
yum install redhat-rpm-config
set your ~/.rpmmacros file with:
%_topdir /home/you/src/redhat
create the structure found at /usr/src/redhat/RPMS etc. in the topdir.
