Where to put compiler options?

Completely agreed. I just couldn't find a way to do it. I think that automake's
info pages should get something like 'obscurity award'. It seems to me that
one can find information in them only after one knows it already (kinda
Murphy's law?).

Could be... this is in fact a result of shot gun debugging my own configure.in,
I never thought it will get as far as the official FAQ.

Regards and thanks for help (my configure.ins are _really_ thankfull),
