Thanks John

That did the trick 

>> CFLAGS               = -O -D_ALL_SOURCE -Wc,float\(IEEE\),haltonmsg\(3296\) 
>> -W c,dll  <<

But this is not the optimum solution  ,  because I added  { haltonmsg\(3296\)  
}  to get the configure script to work better,

But we do not want  { haltonmsg\(3296\)  }  to go into  config.mk  

There fore  the following seems to be the only acceptable "simple" solution

if test "$zOSUnix" = "yes"; then
#       CFLAGS=`$as_echo "$CFLAGS" | sed 's/(/\\\\(/g;s/)/\\\\)/g'`
        CFLAGS="-D_ALL_SOURCE -Wc,float\(IEEE\),dll"
fi

ac_config_files="$ac_config_files auto/config.mk:config.mk.in"

Four more backslashes.

CFLAGS=`$as_echo "$CFLAGS" | sed 's/(/\\\\(/g;s/)/\\\\)/g'`
