openssh bugs - Dec 2005 - [Bug 1132] cannot specify compiler options

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1132

           Summary: cannot specify compiler options
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.2p1
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: mistamajik at hotmail.com


--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.
