Which doesn't surprise me.  The RPM building environment is not the same
as building from source inside a regular user shell.  Similar, but not
the same.

Enlighten me.  DESTDIR does?  

Currently, my install lines look like:
make POSTGRESDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr PREFIX=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr -C src
install
make POSTGRESDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr PREFIX=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr -C
src/interface
s/perl5 install

So, I would put something like:
make POSTGRESDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr PREFIX=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr
DESTDIR=/usr -C src install
???
