Hello Kees,

thanks for the report.

Please post the configure command line you use.  We propagate some
values to the testsuie, you can propagate environment variable settings
to the new testsuite at least by using TESTSUITEFLAGS='var=value ...'
(see README for details).  With the patch below, it should be possible
to also add more arguments by setting configure_options.

If you get it working, we'd be interested in testsuite results, and the
port itself of course.

Thanks,
Ralf

        * tests/testsuite.at: Honor arguments in $configure_options.
