How do you get it to pick up the previously used options? Is it
automatic?

We had been messing around with the configure.in files a lot, including
addding options to enable warnings as errors that was off by default,
but now it's on. Also adding additional warnings to the default build
and the build when you ask for extra gcc flags. Those changes may have
contributed to your problem, sorry :)

Saving the environment variables does sound like a good idea. Anyone
see a reason not to?
