If you are packaging them then you should put them in %{_prefix},
usually /usr, and not /usr/local. /usr/local is usually reserved for
the local sysadmin. Of course you can be packaging them up for
yourself as the local admin and that is fine. But rpms tend to escape
and live longer than you expect.

I am not sure what you are asking or exactly what is your problem.
The rpm %files section will package up the files where they are in
your buildroot image.
If you are asking how to move them around then the answer is simply to
move them around in the %install section.
make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
mkdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/include/blah
mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/include/file1.h $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/include/blah/
mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/include/file2.h $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/include/blah/
Of course you can tell configure this information too. It is six of
one or a half a dozen of the other.
