Does Guile honor its configuration options and make flags?

[Jeffrey Walton]

I'm having trouble with some linking. Guile was configured with
--with-pic, and its dependent libraries were built with -fPIC. I'm
building on x86_64, so CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS include "-m64
-march=native".

My build of Readline installed in /usr/local has -fPIC applied. The
same applies to Termcap and Ncurses. I've gone back to my build
records and confirmed the three were built with -fPIC, -m64 (and
friends) and the proper relocation data is available.

However, when Guile links, I get loads of "recompile with -fPIC". A
sample is shown below.

My first question is, is Guile actually honoring --with-pic,
--with-readline-prefix and the flags it was configured with?

My second question is, is Guile using the libraries provided in
/usr/local? Or is it using some other libraries with an arbitrary
configuration?

My third question is, how do I get Guile to __STOP__ hiding output?
`make V=1` does not seem to do it. I can't diagnose a problem I don't
see, and the missing outputs are extremely frustrating.

Here's part of the script I am using to drive things on my side. All
of the OPT_ array are valid. 30 or so other Autotool projects
configure fine with them. It feels like Guile is just ignoring what I
am telling it to do.
