If you put these flags onto the configure command line, then they are 
recorded. E.g.:

$ ./pg_config --configure
'--prefix=/home/peter/devel/pg81/pg-install' 'CFLAGS=-W'

This is good for reproducing the build.  If you really want to know everything 
about the build environment, then you should look into config.log.  We 
shouldn't install config.log by default because it contains information that 
you might not want to publish, but it's the place to look at for diagnosing 
the build environment.
