Postfix from postfix.org stores the compile-time options in
/etc/postfix/makedefs.out. If your vendor distributes that
file, look for the EXPORT line. Here is an example:
EXPORT = AUXLIBS=' -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre' CCARGS=' -DHAS_PCRE
-I/usr/local/include -DSNAPSHOT' OPT='-O' DEBUG='-g'
The AUXLIBS and CCARGS are what you would specify on the "make
makefiles" command line.
