When running configure like this: sh -c 'CONFIG_SITE=./config.site ./configure' the site script is loaded ... loading site script ./config.site but not propagated to the popt directory configuring in popt running /bin/sh ./configure --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=. loading cache .././config.cache This is not very good as it makes it impossible to use the site script to e.g. turn optimisation off by writing CFLAGS='-g' in the file. If you try, optimization will be off everywhere except in the popt code ;-((
Fixed as below. Thanks for the report.
