You don't need to prove that it makes a difference, you need to
diagnose what the difference is :-)

Maybe try running the configure script under sh -x? Best way to do
this I think is to stick -x in CONFIG_SHELL. Be sure to use the same
shell in case it's a shell bug. (Or, try a different shell and see if
the problem goes away.)

But first, check what shows up in config.log in both cases...
