THis pointed me in the right direction. I looks like from the README in config/cf that ProjectRoot will place the files differently on the target machine and since some of these paths are hardcoded into the binary that it would not do what I wanted. I believe I resolved it using make DESTDIR=dir_for_binary_tree install rather the original make install I now have a handy dandy tree with all the installed files in it ready to tar up. Thank you. THank you Thank you. Now if I can just find time to get my head around Mikes spec file I could do this right.
