I have
%files
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix}/local/%{name}-%{version}

But that gives an error at the very end saying:

RPM build errors:
    File must begin with "/": $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/gcc-3.3.1


Any ideas?

you need to give the path relative to the BuildRoot so for example

%files
%{_prefix}/local/%{name}-%{version}
