I made a minor change to the XFS package (in the unpacked source files),
but I can't figure out which rpmbuild option to use to build from that
changed source file (instead of re-unpacking all the source files,
overwriting all the source files, etc.).
Please assist/explain.
you'd better generate patch files instead of modifying directly source
files: once generated, you store them in SOURCES/ directory and modify
the .spec file to include them in the package generation.
good overview of RPM & spec file:

more complete informations about RPM and their generation:

From a mid/long-term perspective, it will be easier for you to manage
it, especially if you also generate the .src.rpm source package file: it
will contains your modify .spec file and also the patches you've created.
