Well, that "worked". I say it like that because it
seems that when I ran 'make', it ran through configure
again (presumably without my --options). I say that
because I got a lot of "Checking for..." type lines.

So, I tried from the beginning, 'make clean' and 
'rm config.cache', then re-execute 'configure' with
my options, and viola 'make' worked fine. Not sure
what might have happened the first time, your 'touch'
suggestion makes me think the datestamp was bad
for some reason? Anyway, now it's fine. 

On to the next step, 'make test_modules': well, 
this has uncertain output, including 'All tests successful',
'dubious', and 'Error 2'. Complete output (last 20 or
so lines):
