You configure.ac contains a lot of small errors.
For example, you should not define CXXFLAGS in your configure script,
the user should have a chance to define them before running ./configure
AFAIK, you should only append to them.
Next, having
CXXFLAGS="-O3 -ffast-math"
AS_IF([test "$debug" != "no"],
[
CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -g"
])
is not smart, since you typically want -O0 when debugging.
I suggest using
AS_IF([test "$debug" != "no"],
[CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -g -O0"],
[CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -O3"])
And also having the closing '])' on the new line can cause troubles...
There is an excellent tutorial here:

I wish you good luck and patience :-),
