But I don't see what the point of using %configure would be when the software being built does not have make use of autotools.
It seems your concern is the build flags, so why not just use %set_build_flags? %configure does that first, then goes through and modifies various autotools-related things and finally calls the configure script. It seems that nothing but %set_build_flags is relevant at all when autotools isn't in use.
I'd say that will *probably* be the case and could be a safe option, but %configure could always have more actions added to it. Since if we run make, we're running an arbitrary Makefile... future-proofing might be good.
%configure is also an omnipresent macro that anyone w/ even a basic understanding of specs will grok, while %set_build_flags is a bit more obscure.
