You can probably stick that line above into an early-expanded diversion such as INIT_PREPARE, but none of those are documented, so you'd be treading in dark waters there. A probably cleaner alternative would be to let your macro do all of LX_CFLAGS=${CFLAGS-NONE} AC_PROG_CC rest of your old macro and document that. FWIW, gnulib solves things like this by having two (sets of) macros: one FOO_EARLY and one FOO_... macro. That's not too bad, either.
