I have successfully attempted to avoid SPEC and all of it's baggage in recent years. If I recall correctly, there are some flags you can pass to runspec to tell it that you don't want to do a "reportable" run. Try to add --noreportable (see 3.2.1 on this page: http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/docs/runspec.html ) and see if that removes the checksum check.
