The you need to adjust your spec file %install section as I explained in
my previous reply. You can read it here, too:

Not enough info to conclude whether you misunderstand something.

Kindly pay attention to what I've written before, please. I've
pointed out that this "BuildRoot" tag specifies the path you are
interest in. Now:

You here want to use $RPM_BUILD_ROOT or %buildroot as explained earlier.
It is not helpful, if you go on with your own strange experiments instead
of following advice.

  %install
  rm -rf %{buildroot}
  mkdir -p %{buildroot}
  # and then continue to create files in that buildroot
  # for example:
  mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_bindir}

That is something entirely different. The %doc statement as you use it
here for the NEWS file, copies the specified file from the builddir into
the buildroot's default docdir. That has nothing to do with your %install
section _except_ that the buildroot directory must exist (which is why
you need to create it for CentOS 5.8).

cp -p your LOCALPATH/TO/THE/FILE %{buildroot}%{_bindir}

where the local path refers to a file within the builddir.

Don't rush. Read replies more slowly and comment on specific quotes
instead of quoting everything at the bottom.
