 So are you just going to ignore the other part of the patch as well
 (not using the contents of $CONFIG_OPT)?

+I think GStreamer is doing the right thing here. '--' is the standard
+way of separating the arguments to the program you're running from
+other command-line parameters (Think rm -- - to remove a file called "-").
+
+You are running autogen.sh and passing arguments to that app, not to
+configure.  There is already a mechanism in place to pass arguments to
+configure.  It might not be what you're used to, but it makes perfect
+sense and I don't see why the behaviour would need to be changed.  We
+have valid reasons for having it like this, because we actually do
+have REAL autogen.sh arguments because they make sense.
+
+As to the other part of the patch, if you think it is valid (don't
+know what it does), please reattach without the other bits and
+describe what it does.
+
+Can you explain what $CONFIGURE_OPTS is, what it's supposed to do and
+where it is described ?
