Could you show exactly what you did, rather than describe it in words?
I ask because I'm wondering whether you as developer of a package put
AC_PROG_CC([/path/to/compiler])
in configure.ac, or maybe instead
: ${CC=/path/to/compiler}
AC_PROG_CC
or you as user of a package did
./configure CC=/path/to/compiler
and what semantics didn't fit with your expectations; i.e., what
happened, and would you have expected to happen instead? Because
the above things all work just fine for me. Please also state the
Autoconf version used. Thanks.

Not sure yet. Is this a package for general use, or just for you, on
your system only? Is adherence to GNU Coding Standards an aim for it?
Cheers,
