I strongly recommend that you go back and read the Autoconf and
Automake documentation. It does seem like the project that you joined
does have some issues.
Autoconf and automake work in conjunction with each other and can
accomplish what you desire if used correctly.
It is true that Autoconf does produce a default set of CXXFLAGS but
these can be easily overridden by the user, unless the project was
constructed incorrectly.
