Hi Maxim,

This would instead have to be a macro, similar to the ‘pkg-config’
macro, so that (%current-system) is checked at the right time rather
than when loading this module.

However, since the only different between polkit and polkit-duktape
(IIUC) is that an extra patch is applied for the latter, I would instead
suggest adding a conditional build phase that applies the patch on
non-x86_64 systems.

How does that sound?
