Also, just in case the others have not made it clear .. you will create a tarball of your binary files in a file named <name>-<version>.tar.bz2 and spec file. You will make that your SRPM with rpmbuild -bs, and build it to your binaries with rpmbuild -bb. It needs to extract to <name>-<version> in the BUILD directory (%setup will do that). Then you just need to have an %install section that puts files where you want it to go on the machine. You can have a different directory under <name>-<version> for each arch and use %ifarch as suggested earlier. Also, the example SRPMS already relayed by other people in this thread are good to see the processes.
