I am inclined to say that *FLAGS should be unquoted only once. However, it is not obvious to me whether this means the bug needs to be addressed in Automake, or whether this means config.status needs to put back some quoting so that Automake's existing code does the right thing.

Postponing until someone has time to have a conversation with the automake people and decide what is the best approach.

For the following scenario it's impossible to provide correct CFLAGS with attached configure.ac, Makefile.am, and main.c files.

You must use +CFLAGS='-DSTRING="string"'+ to pass +AC_COMPILE_IFELSE+ test from configure.ac, but to provide same macro value to main.c you should use +CFLAGS='-DSTRING=\"string\"'+.

As result we have the current situation:

> ./configure CFLAGS='-DSTRING="string"' && make # Fails on compilation
> ./configure CFLAGS='-DSTRING=\"string\"' && make # Fails on configuration
