Thanks for the hint, Dave .
But I think that it is not related to running configure twice , but to
the different SetupNativeCompilation - calls of these generator in the
GensrcMisc.gmk .
If you compare them to other native compilation like nio / net etc. ,
they usually set CFLAGS_JDKLIB or CFLAGS_JDKEXE in
SetupNativeCompilation which include these extra-flags .
But the generators don't have this , for example :
jdk/makefiles/gensrc/GensrcMisc.gmk
$(eval $(call SetupNativeCompilation,BUILD_GENSRC_SOR_EXE, \
SRC := $(GENSRC_SOR_SRC), \
INCLUDE_FILES := $(GENSRC_SOR_SRC_FILE), \
LANG := C, \
CC := $(BUILD_CC), \
LDEXE := $(BUILD_LD), \
OBJECT_DIR := $(GENSRC_SOR_BIN), \
OUTPUT_DIR := $(GENSRC_SOR_BIN), \
PROGRAM := genSocketOptionRegistry))
So it is not a wonder that the added extra flags do not show up here .
This might be even a good idea in some cases, because the generators have
different requirements for example when cross compiling.
But shouldn't there be then some other option to set extra flags for the
generators ?

I don't know if it's of any help, but I've noticed that configure
sometimes needs to be run twice before the additional/new/modified
option(s) take effect - quite frequently, the first time is merely a
re-run of the previously generated generated-configure.sh.
