sudo takes the first argument as the command to execute. If you want to 
include several commands (CFLAGS= is one, LDFLAGS= another and configure 
the third), put them into a script file.

But why do you want to compile as sudo ? This is generally considered 
unsafe. You should only use sudo for 'make install'.

Or use the debian (and thus Ubuntu) way: dpkg-buildpackage.
