One thing that should work is if you put a:

CONFIGURE_ARGS=

right after the last CONFIGURE_ARGS+= in the Makefile ... the ARGS+= adds
arguments, but if you say ARGS=, it will wipe out the previous settings
and force it "your way" ...

The thing is, there are alot of other defines in the Makefile that
may/maynot be what you want, so just CONFIGURE_ARGS doesn't quite do it :(
