I've noticed this behavior too. I think it has to do with the mucking 
around I do with CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS near the beginning of configure.ac, 
but I can't figure out what exactly. if you configure without CFLAGS and 
CXXFLAGS set, it should work, but that's no help to you :(

I'll keep looking at it, it's probably something obvious.
