Can you just set LDFLAGS to +KPIC and CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS to "-64 -mips4" in
the environment before you configure?  I believe autotools tries really hard
to allow the user to override that way.  Of course, this suggestion will
only work if the KCC compiler only warns about the -fPIC flag rather than
aborting completely if it encounters it.  If this works with environment
variables, then it will be easier to proceed to automating it.
