Take a look at checkinstall.  I'm using version 1.6.  Make sure to
put /etc/selinux in the excludes section of /etc/checkinstallrc, and you
should be able to generate rpms on just about any package that you can
do a ./configure, make, make install process on.  Just substitute
checkinstall for the make install step.
