I was hoping for a cleaner solution, but that's better than what we have
currently.

You may also want to check out
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2005-08/msg00035.html
and thread for more ideas.

Thinking out loud: one could do
  : ${stresstest_static="-Wc, -static"}
(the `-Wc,' just emulates an empty argument, to avoid introducing an
extra `eval' here) and similarly for the other switches, so you could
even limit a stresstest run by calling
  stresstest_static=-static make check TESTS= TESTSUITE_FLAGS='-v -d 22'
or so.

Cheers,
Ralf
