You are possibly confusing the overloading of % in the spec file. It is used as a section marker (%prep,%build,%install,%clean,%files,etc) which the appropriate build sections corresponds to rpmbuild -bp, -bc -bi, etc. You can thus stop at one of those stages %configure is a macro (rpm -E '%configure') used in the %build section, so you can't just step to the stage. Just add "exit 1" between the configure and the make macros in %build, then you can inspect and remove the terminating command rpmbuild --short-circuit -bc foo.spec to restart the %build stage without re-expanding the root.
