FWIW, I also saw that, when building HEAD against MacPorts' version
of liblz4 on an M1 Mac.  config.log has

configure:13536: $? = 1

Digging around, it looks like the "-I/opt/local/include" bit came
from LZ4_CFLAGS, which we then stuck into CFLAGS, but it needed
to be put in CPPFLAGS in order to make this test work.
