You have to bugger the spec file to accommodate conditionals. Using the
rpmbuild ... --with fnork
(note the space between "with" and "fnork) will cause an rpmbuild macro,
"_with_fnork" to be created with the value "--with-fnork". To use this
macro, you have to modify your spec file to something like:
./configure \
%{?_with_fnork} \
--with-somethingelse \
...
With that change in place in the spec file, had you done
rpmbuild ... --with fnork
then the configure would have been run as:
./configure \
--with-fnork \
--with-somethingelse \
...
And if you had NOT included "--with fnork" on the rpmbuild command:
./configure \
--with-somethingelse \
...
The construct "%{?_with_fnork}" in the spec file means "if the macro
'_with_fnork' is defined (via "--with fnork" on the command line), use
its value. Otherwise use null."
There is a parallel using "--without fnork" (creating a "_without_fnork"
macro with the value "--without-fnork"). Yes, it's a bit obtuse. For
the gory details:

Hope that helps. rpmbuild and spec files often make my brain bleed--
especially the "%files" section. I'm getting queasy just thinking of it!
