Yeah, that's a way to set environment variables. You can also put them 
in front of the ./configure call, that way they are 'recorded' in 
config.log.

I don't know what you're trying to achieve, so I can't tell you how to 
proceed. If you want to debug the failure, you should look into the 
build system for 1.1.7, figure out what LDFLAGS=-s does, and how it 
changes the results of the build. The question is: Do you really need to 
use LDFLAGS=-s? Is make install-strip not sufficient for that?

The meta question is if you and seejith really need to use 1.1.7 for 
your project, as 1.1.8, the current release, should work a bit better in 
  many respects.

I can't reproduce the problem on current CVS head that you've found, so 
whatever it was that's causing it in 1.1.7, it seems to have been fixed 
meanwhile. I hope to roll out 1.1.9 soon, and if you are interested in 
trying out a release candidate, just send me an e-mail, and I'll put one 
up on the weekend, or come to our IRC channel #kaffe on irc.freenode.net 
for hands on help when I'm around.
