In configure, if the compiler is gcc, then put the flags you want into
AM_CFLAGS.  Then AC_SUBST this.

Read about AC_PROG_CC to see how to check whether gcc is in use.
There's a pre-existing variable.

Automake doesn't, autoconf does.

In general, avoid architecture-specific stuff if possible.
If not possible, see AC_CANONICAL_HOST and friends.
