--enable-dependency-tracking triggers msvcmsys for me, and it appears to
not have been broken since we fixed it, whenever that was...

CFLAGS= is not needed, since the -g test works with "cl -nologo", and -O2
is only added for $GCC. Is that -g warning really so bad, that we have to
mention it in the docs?
IMHO, the time is better spent fixing the autoconf test to not use -g if
stderr output changes at all when -g is used, instead of not using -g if
stderr output appears with -g but not without. Then we can forget about
the doc change...
Cheers,
