I think your set of CFLAGS makes GCC disabled to make a simple executables like "hello world". So I wonder why you want autoconf to "fix" the result caused by your CFLAGS. For generic CFLAGS, you must set CFLAGS that the compiler can make an executable successfully. You gave CFLAGS that the compiler cannot make an executable.
Also I've checked the discussion on GCC bugzilla; Andrew Pinski mentioned automake, but I don't think he recommends a method using "CFLAGS=blahblahblah ./configure". I guess he recommends to write configure.am & Makefile.am to insert non-generic & special flags in the compiling for shared object. Anyway, you didn't clarified how such special flags are required, and the coverages of the objects to be compiled with the special flags, so nobody will be able to the answer to be used immediately.
