No, there isn't.

Note that if you're on a 64bit system, you should also always pass
- --libdir=/usr/lib64 to configure

That's the idea. Packaged (RPM) stuff should go into /usr (or /opt/...),
stuff you install yourself, "manually" goes into /usr/local

/usr/local should never, ever be used as a target directory by RPM packages.
