configure.cmd (and, more generally, any *.cmd) is designed to specify the
relative or absolute path to a program to run. Any arguments to that command
are meant to be specified in *.args, *.pre_args and *.post_args. It's not
intended to be used to run more than one command.

That looks good. Bear in mind though that the configure phase sets many
environment variables. You're setting CC and CXX here as arguments, which might
be equivalent in this case to having them set in the environment, but there are
other variables which you're not setting and that might adversely affect the
build.
Hopefully the developers can fix their configure script so that in the future
it will only need a single invocation.
