make fails, Unknown option: -o

First I experienced this on Ubuntu, but it is bit old (12.04), so thought that maybe I have some old packages which aren't compatible anymore. But then I was able to reproduce same on fresh Docker image...

Dockerfile:

FROM centos:7

RUN yum install -y epel-release
RUN yum install -y autoconf automake jemalloc-devel libedit-devel libtool ncurses-devel pcre-devel pkgconfig python-docutils python-sphinx graphviz wget make

RUN wget http://varnish-cache.org/_downloads/varnish-5.2.0.tgz
RUN tar -zxvf varnish-5.2.0.tgz
RUN cd varnish-5.2.0 && sh autogen.sh && sh configure && make && make install && ldconfig

RUN yum install -y varnish-libs-devel
RUN wget https://github.com/varnish/varnish-modules/archive/0.12.1.tar.gz
RUN tar -zxvf 0.12.1.tar.gz
RUN cd varnish-modules-0.12.1 && export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=../varnish-5.2.0 && ./bootstrap && ./configure && make && make install

docker build -t varnish-dev:5.2.0 .

Colleague solved this one, needed to add export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ on installing Varnish.
