So I think we have some intelligence in DoCommand.pm already to handle
this kind of situation. Specifically, I think you can do:
configure_arguments = "CFLAGS=-xarch=v8plusa -xO5"
I.e., if you move the first quote to the beginning of the token, I think
it'll work because DoCommand will treat the whole "CFLAGS=-xarch...O5"
as a single token. We could probably improve the parsing algorithm in
DoCommand.pm to be able to handle the embedded " (as in your first
example), but it might be a little messy. Sending in an explicit array
of tokens is also an option.
As a sidenote, I might have told you to do the CFLAGS="..." form. If
so, sorry... :-(
