There is no script or secret.  You might get some help from
touch /build-stamp; sleep 61; make install; find / -newer /build-stamp
but that is easiest on an idle system and still prone to false positives.

In general when a packaged version of something is available, it should
be preferred over a source build, since the packaging system tracks which
files are installed by the package and should allow for cleaner
uninstalls.

http://openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.6.11.1/openafs-1.6.11.1-1.src.rpm is the
1.6.11 srpm, which ought to be buildable into binary rpms with, e.g.,
mock.
