As a number of people suggested, I tried running "make -n install" with the 
following result.  I guess, as pointed out by Jason, this has listed "less 
than the total sequence of commands that would have been run".

<snip>
[root at diamond dhcp-3.0.1rc11]# make -n install
sysname=`./configure --print-sysname`; \
 if [ ! -d work.$sysname ]; then \
   echo No build directory for $sysname - please run ./configure.; \
else \
   (cd work.$sysname; make install); \
fi
[root at diamond dhcp-3.0.1rc11]#
</snip>

Looking at this output is starting to frazzle my poor brain, so my approach 
from here will be two pronged.  The first will be to look more closely at the 
source rpm suggestion.  The second will be to follow the concept of other 
suggestions and try crafting a special 'find' command to generate a list of 
likely candidate files.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
