If you take a closer look at the configure help message, you will note
that the correct name of the option is --with-ccopts, not
--with-cc-opts.
For better or for worse, autoconf-generated configure scripts ignore
--with-* options which are misspelled or mis-typed by the user, instead
of giving an error message. This is unfortunate, and has confused users
before.
