- Build from your SRPM failed for me - you have a reference to %{_libdir}/*
in % files but nothing actually in there ;-)

- RPMLint claims file ownership is nonstandard. Therefore you need a %
defattr (-,root,root,-) just after %files.

- Swapping "cp $RPM_BUILD_DIR/iozone3_239/src/current" for plain old
"install -p src/current" looks (to me) to be cleaner and simpler to follow
- always a good thing in a .sW: iozone no-version-in-last-changelog

- I would leave the files your spec puts in /usr/share/doc/iozone/ in %doc,
rather than use %{_docdir} and friends explicitly.

- Clear the buildroot before install (no clutter/crap can sneak in from
previous rebuild attempts this way)

- Generate_Graphs needs a #!/bin/sh shebang line (trivial patch,
upstream fix or both)

- Requires: gnuplot for the above?

RPMlint output with my own basic changes:

W: iozone unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/bin/iozone
E: iozone script-without-shellbang /usr/bin/Generate_Graphs
E: iozone wrong-script-end-of-line-encoding /usr/share/doc/iozone/
Gnuplot.txt
E: iozone no-signature

Diff attached :-)
