Could be a test problem as well. Line 1451 in configure currently reads

if test -z "$OPT"

My guess that this is where the environment setting is
overwritten. Just put

echo "Current value of OPT is x${OPT}x"

before this test, and 

echo "New value of OPT is x${OPT}x"

after the if statement.

Actually, after re-reading the autoconf documentation, I think I see
what's happending. $OPT starts with a - (HYPHEN MINUS), so test treats
it as an option. Please try replacing the test with

if test ${OPT+set} != set

HTH,
Martin
