Well, var=${var=value} is the construct having been used for autoconf's
config caches for years, but ...

... I can reproduce the problem ...

The problem seem to be Solaris /bin/sh having problems in parsing quotes
(There even is a paragraph related to this issue in autoconf.info :( )

It accepts 
a=${a=X}
a=${a=-X}

but it chokes on
a=${a=-X -Y}

a=${a="-X -Y"}

also seems to work ...

I don't recall the rationale for autoconf using a=${a=...}, wo let's try
the normal, nominal way of "/bin/sh" setting up vars ....

Can you try the patch below?
