I would make this less %configure centric, maybe something like:
... correct compiler flags if you use a macro that automatically sets them to build the package, such as %configure or %cmake (check macro contents with "rpm -E %somemacro" while redhat-rpm-config and the package possibly providing the macro in /etc/rpm/* is installed if unsure whether a macro sets them). If there are no such macros that would apply to your package, the de facto standard is that ...
make CFLAGS=%{optflags} all
This bit needs quotes around %{optflags}.
