What does it need to persuade you to move to recommend
  ./configure CC=cc [...]

instead of the other way round?  Autoconf (and Automake)
mailing lists still get bug reports which are due to
  ./config.status --recheck

forgetting the settings, which is due to people still
using (and reading about) the old way of setting CC etc.

Cheers,
Ralf
