aside of that the packages can't be downloaded (likely some permissions
missing), your packages don't align with the Fedora Packaging Guidelines
for multiple reasons, sorry ;-(

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bird/blob/master/f/bird.spec in case
you're interested. IIRC your packages are also not built with CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS that Fedora and EPEL endorse (and not inside a clean mock chroot).

For RHEL/CentOS 7, the way seems either to pass -fPIC explicitly or to use
a more recent GCC (like Fedora does) which handles -flto more nicely.
