While the build process isn't being held up at the configure or make stages, rather the rpmbuild stage, rpmbuild depends on the output of configure / make, which if --with-polkit is not enabled, will result in the PolityKit file not being included in the build and thus an error when rpm sees it listed under the files in the spec but not the actual file itself. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
