I once ran into something - I forget whether it was one of autoconf's
horrors or something else - that pitched a fit when I told it the
compiler to use was cc -g.  I don't recall the exact complaint; what
fuzzy memory I have says that it seemed to think specifying options for
the compiler was a something that shouldn't be necessary, apparently
thinking it knew better than I did what I wanted.

I created a tiny shell script

#! /bin/sh
exec cc -g "$@"

and specified that instead.  Maybe something of the sort could help you
work around this particular bit of braindamage while waiting for them
to fix the bug report I would hope you filed?
