Yes. You probably wanted configure's --extra-cflags option.
However that doesn't mean the code in configure at the moment
is actually right...

Having looked at configure I'm pretty sure what we want here is
  QEMU_CFLAGS="-march=i486 $QEMU_CFLAGS"

because we're only doing this for the benefit of a particular bit
of code in hw/vhost.c and so QEMU_CFLAGS is sufficient. Also this
brings it into line with other places where we add a -march flag,
which use QEMU_CFLAGS, not CFLAGS.
