It looks like some single-quotes are not being interpreted properly.
After making the replacement like you suggested (which I agree is a good
idea), I also made this change:

    for option in ${ac_configure_args}
    do
      case $option in
      --*) ;;
    #  -*) option=-$option ;;
      -*) echo "XXXXX Not touching $option" > /dev/tty ;;
      esac

and got this:

Note the appearance of lone single quotes.
