Any reasons against committing this nearly-obvious patch?
Thanks,

manual: compiler flags -D and -L should not be followed by space.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Preset Output Variables): Remove space
between -D and -L flags and their arguments, traditional cpp
implementations like Solaris 10, IRIX 6.5, OSF Tru64 5.1D,
AIX 5.3 do not accept it.

If a compiler option affects only the behavior of the preprocessor

matters get tricky. One approach to put such options directly into
