For x86-64. The original src.rpm from dosemu.org doesn't build for me,
with this below:

Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files 
/home/zozo/rpmbuild/BUILD/dosemu-root
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:

   /usr/lib/dosemu/libplugin_term.so

I.e the same that happened for you, and similar to what happened to me
on FC6/x86-64 before, so I modified the dosemu.spec file at the time:

--- dosemu.spec~        2007-11-14 10:02:47.000000000 +0100
+++ dosemu.spec 2007-11-14 10:02:47.000000000 +0100

+%configure --sysconfdir=/etc/dosemu 
--with-fdtarball=%{_sourcedir}/dosemu-freedos-bin.tgz
 make
 %install
 mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}

I.e. so it uses the system specified directories for most things,
only the config directory is /etc/dosemu. After this change in
the spec file _only_, I now got the error I quoted, i.e.
 open(... , ... | O_CREAT) needs the 3rd (mode) parameter.
I fixed it the the second patch, and the v86dev-dosemu patch
makes dosemu on x86-64 very fast. The patch for vm86dev is
needed to compile it on F8 kernel, and supposedly mainstream
2.6.23[.1] as well.
