Some remarks.

MUSTFIX:

-  Package doesn't acknowledge RPM_OPT_FLAGS.
makefile.shared overrides CFLAGS causing this package to be compiled with
non-standard CFLAGS:
E.g.:
... 
libtool --mode=compile --tag=CC gcc -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386
-mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -I./ -Wall -W -Wshadow
-Wsign-compare -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer   -c -o bn_mp_exch.o
bn_mp_exch.c
...

The -W flags are harmless, the usefulness of -funroll-loops is arguable, 
but -O3 and -fomit-frame-pointer should not be used in rpms.

I would suggest you to remove all -f* flags from makefile.shared or to change
your spec file in such a way these -f*-flags are not being used.

CONSIDER:
- The package's name doesn't match the tarball name. 
Please read: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines

- The devel package installs its headers to /usr/include.
A better design would be it to install them to a "per package header
subdirectory" (e.g. /usr/include/tommath or similar).
