 Oh, OK, so it's nothing to do with this that follows:

[valen@minbar glib]$ CFLAGS="-s -O2" ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
./configure: syntax error near unexpected token `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE,'
./configure: ./configure: line 566: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE($PACKAGE, $VERSION, no-define)'
[valen@minbar glib]$                

 Any idea why this comes up ?
