How to add C-Flag to configure script


I want to recompile a program with the D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 C-Flag to get my program working with large files (>2GB)

I tried a "./configure D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64", but when I run make, I see all kinds of different flags (z.B D_REENTRANT ...) appended to the gcc commands that are called, but that one I have specified before when I called ./configure isn't anywhere...

Does somebody know how this will work?

[EDIT]
P.S: As a looked now in the generated Makefile, there are also a call to g++ and not only gcc...
is it dangerous to add some C-Flags by hand into the Makefile ?
Do I also have to append my flag to the CXXFLAGS variable ? (I think this is used by g++ ??)

the normal way is to...

Code:
export CFLAGS="<insert flags for C code here>"
export CXXFLAGS="<inserts flags for C++ code here>"
./configure
make
make install
edit... make sure you enter, all the falgs you want to use, i think this will override the makefiles flags...

a common set of flags for both C and C++ is like so...
"-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -O2 -mtune=i686"
