Subject: configure: Add sanity checking for environment variables
X-Git-Tag: 0.21_rc0~111

configure: Add sanity checking for environment variables

Passing in environment variables incompatible with the compiler may
cause other parts of the configure script to fail in hard to
understand ways, so we abort early.
