It would make sense to change etc/DEBUG as Uwe suggests here anyway:
the autoconf manual recommends setting variables (apart from
CONFIG_SHELL) in the ./configure command line rather than the
environment.

The configure script has #!/bin/sh at the top, so the script itself
won't be evaluated by tcsh (unless you do 'tcsh ./configure ...'
(which fails immediately)).
