Yes, but the configure script that gets those arguments is the
temporarily-present ./pcre-X.YY/configure, for checking purposes, not
./configure. It is the latter that determines the content of
config.h.generic, not the former.
Or, to put it another way: The tarball produced by "make distcheck" is
identical to the one produced by "make dist", yet the latter target does
not use DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS.
Please give the patch a try. There should not be any differences in the
generated file.
