RUN-PROGRAM is different from SYSTEM. The former is based on execve() and
thus it needs a list of strings. One string per argument. No two arguments
can be collapsed in the same string. This is crucial, AFAI remember.

SYSTEM just gets a string and performs the splitting of arguments itself.

So the point is that we have to be careful with the list of arguments that
the compiler gets from autoconf, how they are split, how we add additional
arguments and a lot of other things. It is worth doing it but it is not just
a matter of cut&paste.
