Should the passed command parameters result into the same error messages for a configuration test?

Hello,

I try to generate the Luyten release of a library combination with the tool "g++
4.7.2" on my openSUSE Tumbleweed system.

I wonder about the following results here.

I find it also especially strange that the reduced command parameter set
(deletion of duplicated options and preprocessor symbols) shows differences in
the error messages.

I would appreciate your advices.
