Well, I can't really tell you from the information you have given so far, I'm afraid. Can you post a link to the tarball of the package you are trying to build? Can it be possible that the same code snippet that adds to CFLAGS in the sub configure script occurs also in the toplevel configure script, and so you'd need to adjust the toplevel configure.ac as well and regenerate configure there? The value of CFLAGS is typically stored in config.cache files, too; but changes there are normally complained about by configure when loading the cache file again, so that doesn't seem a likely cause to me.
