It does not work today... E.g. try the recipe

---- xxx.bb -----
EXTRA_OECONF = "--with-build-cflags='-O2 -g3 --help'"

inherit autotools

do_unpack() {
    mkdir -p ${S}
    echo 'AC_INIT()' > ${S}/configure.ac
}
----


Without the patch, there will be called

| $ ./bitbake -b /tmp/xxx.bb -c configure -f -D
| ...
| + ..../configure ...  '--with-build-cflags='\''-O2' -g3 '--help'\'''

and with the patch

| + ..../configure ...  '--with-build-cflags=-O2 -g3 --help'
