How to create one rpm package which only contains specified directory?

Hi, 
Experts,

    I 
have one directory like this (about 300M, over 50000 files):

/opt/xxx/usr/local/gcc-4.3-binutils-2.18

    I 
want to create one rpm package for it, when installing the rpm package, it 
should extract the files and put it to the same location 
(/opt/xxx/usr/local/gcc-4.3-binutils-2.18)

finally I got the package, but when installing the rpm, it hangs with only 
printing out "preparing...", then I have to kill it manually

[sstims@harry_rh52 ~]$ sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps --nofiles  --noscript --nomd5 
cs-xxx.rpm

Preparing...                
Killed

with help of strace, it hangs with mmap2 system call

         #sudo strace rpm -ivh cs-xxx.rpm
        ...

mremap(0x545a6000, 1616502784, 1616506880, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 
0x545a6000
        pread64(6, 
"\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\363\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\214\0a\7\0\2\367\17\356\17\346\17"..., 
4096, 2043904) = 4096

mmap2(NULL, 1077669888, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, 
-1, 0) = 0x141e7000

Killed

    I 
restart the machine and run "sudo rpm --rebuilddb", but still 
failed.

    If I package it with fewer files, it can be installed, but still very 
slow.  The most strange issue is that it need much memory when installing 
the rpm package, about 800M is used, but finally hang.

Can you help to have a look on this issue? 

I build the rpm package with rpm 4.0.4, and install the 
package with rpm 4.4.2

I failed to create the rpm package with rpm 4.4.2, 
segment fault occured.
