It actually does nothing.It adds -DSOURCEFIRE to the cflags passed to the c compiler. This creates a defined preprocessor symbol SOURCEFIRE, but nothing in the source code uses that define. Having flags like this is pretty common in development. I suspect it's an artifact of some testing flags that one of the developers uses.
I even did a recursive grep, and found no reference the the SOURCEFIRE directive anywhere other than configure and configure.in, proving it really does nothing.
