Description Adam Chou 2005-12-09 13:39:20 AEDT 
--with-cppflags, --with-cflags, --with-ldflags, --with-libs, --with-Werror do not work. i'm still somewhat new to this whole autoconf/bash programming thing but i'm pretty sure i'm right and i don't see how this condition will ever be true...

if test -n "$withval"  &&  test "x$withval" != "xno"  &&  \
		    test "x${withval}" != "xyes"; then

it is required in order to use any of the above --with options. if i specify --with-thteoption=maybe or any other arbitrary string so that the above condition evalutates to true, it ./configure crashes with the following message
configure: error: *** compiler cannot create working executables, check config.log ***

You need to specify the flags you want to add, for example:
./configure --with-cflags=-save-temps && make

Perhaps configure's help output could be a bit more, well, helpful.
