This appears to be more of a shell question than an autoconf
question. From an autoconf point of view, you probably shouldn't
be messing with CXXFLAGS -- that's a variable that the
user should be setting.
>From a shell point of view, the program:
CXXFLAGS="-D__int64=\"long long\""
for i in $CXXFLAGS; do echo $i; done
outputs:
-D__int64="long
long"
which may help to explain the symptoms you're seeing.
