Yes, unfortunately that involves that configure automatically mucks with
CFLAGS, which could have interesting side-effects on some platforms. For
example, on Tru64 it will add -std1, which is more strict than the -std
that we currently use.
Eventually, we'll have to deal with this anyway, because newer autoconf
versions do this automatically when you can AC_PROG_CC (blame yours truly
for that change), but it might not be the wisest thing to try right now.
