I haven't checked the autotools one, but I wrote the CMake build system that 
you can override OpenAL's settings, ie if you specify -march=i486 it should 
be appended and thus overide other conflicting flags. If this is not the 
case, please report again.

Could you be more precise? In fact it tests whether visibility is supported 
and only then activates the feature. Does this lead to compile errors or 
runtime errors? Or is support falsely detected? If yes, could you try whether 
CMake also detects falsely support? If no, my test in configure is not enough 
and I need to check for the compiler flag, as well (as I do in CMake). If 
not, I am a bit puzzled....
