Making a fool of myself in public again...  That's not right either as the
Makefile doesn't even exist at that stage when configuring for the first
time.  However, the following is still true:

A fix would seem to involve pulling CFLAGS out of the Makefile frags, but
this is getting all too clever for my liking.
