The only times I have used with-PACKAGE if you want to
configure a python package, and it wants to use a package or
a stand-alone executable, and you want to override the choice
it would naturally make in finding one of these other packages
it wants to use.  the PACKAGE whose name you replace isn't the
one you are trying to configure, but another one.

i.e.

You are setting up mod_wsgi

you type ./configure

mod_wsgi wants to configure apache, and looks for an executable file
called apxs (or apxs2) which you should have installed wherever your
distro puts such things, so for me it is /usr/bin/apxs.

I don't want to use this one.  I want to use my own special one,
or an older version of apache, or something.

I type:

./configure --with-apxs /the/full/path/name/of/the/apxs/I/want/to/use

So that is what the --with-PACKAGE is for.  I do not think it is something
that is related to your problem at all, but I am not an expert at this.
The distutils-sig
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
(with the letter 't') is where you find the experts.
