Cut'n'paste error on my side here.  Wanted to add this comment to
one of your spec files, where you only did

Requires: %{name} = %{version}

;)

Curly braces ensure that you can concatenate macros and other strings of
characters without unwanted side-effects.

$RPM_BUILD_DIR is not equal to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT. The former is the
directory where the source code is extracted and compiled. The latter is
where the files are installed prior to packaging them into the binary rpm.
Inside $RPM_BUILD_ROOT you can delete (or %exclude) as much as you like.
