I'm not sure what you're asking here. What exactly is your "desired result"?
If you want the rpmbuild to do a "make test", you can modify the spec
file to do that pretty easily. The tarball that's typically used is
the result of "make dist" from the subversion working copy, BTW. I wouldn't
bother with tarring up a working directory then doing a build, the rpm is
simple going to do the build over.
If you want your RPM to also include your own configuration, you can do that,
but you'll probably need to modify the spec file a bit. I'd create the
configs as extra source files and copy them into place during the install
phase.
