Strange. I tried the same args on 8.2.3, and that config.log extract
shows this:

configure:2209: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2212: gcc -O3 -funroll-loops -m64 conftest.c >&5
[works]

Note no misplaced libs there. The configure args were

./configure --prefix=/tmp --with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libs=/usr/local/lib --enable-thread-saftey --with-openssl --enable-debug CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3 -funroll-loops -m64"
(including the thread-saftey typo)

I noticed that config.log has unquoted CFLAGS -- I'd say that's a bug,
but maybe it's of no consequence.
