    _______________________________________________________

Details:

For the following scenario it's impossible to provide correct CFLAGS with
attached configure.ac, Makefile.am, and main.c files.

You must use +CFLAGS='-DSTRING="string"'+ to pass +AC_COMPILE_IFELSE+ test
from configure.ac, but to provide same macro value to main.c you should use
+CFLAGS='-DSTRING=\"string\"'+.

As result we have the current situation:
> ./configure CFLAGS='-DSTRING="string"' && make # Fails on compilation
> ./configure CFLAGS='-DSTRING=\"string\"' && make # Fails on configuration
