For all I know, setting CXXFLAGS before calling configure works
perfectly.  If not, then file a separate bug :-)

Right, that's the bug under discussion.  Do we actually have any such
flags right now?  (Arguably -pthread would be the example, except I'm
not clear whether -pthread actually does anything that -lpthread
doesn't, and -lpthread is in the link flags, not the cxxflags.)
