Please consider compiling and building packages as a non-privileged
user rather than as root. It will save you a lot of headache
especially if something unexpected happens (install script screws up
on directory where it's supposed to install). Using another directory
structure, for example below your home dir (or anywhere else for that
matter) is easy and you can set the directories in your .rpmrc
and .rpmmacros files in your own home directory.

For repeatable, consistent and auditable builds consider using mock or
another tool which creates a dedicated build environment every time
you build a package with a build environment that is "known good"
