I don't know what xlators/features/protect/... is. It's not in the 
release-3.4 branch that I just cloned, checked out, and built.

Indeed my checkout of release-3.4 and RPM build moments ago worked fine, 
so AFAIK nothing has broken since Thursday when the full regression test 
was ran to validate my latest changes to the glusterfs.spec.in — 
http://review.gluster.org/4742 and http://review.gluster.org/4743.

Here are the steps I did:

     14	8:13	git clone ssh://git.gluster.com/glusterfs.git 
glusterfs-release-3.4
     15	8:17	cd glusterfs-release-3.4
     17	8:17	git checkout release-3.4
     20	8:17	./autogen.sh
     29	8:20	./configure --enable-fusermount
     30	8:21	make dist
     31	8:21	cd extras/LinuxRPM/
     33	8:21	make glusterrpms

As Jeff has already mentioned, you need to figure out why 
xlators/features/protect/... is not in your tree when you run `make 
dist`. Or you need to figure out why xlators/features/protect/* is in 
your configure.ac.

HTH.
