It actually does nothing.

It adds -DSOURCEFIRE to the cflags passed to the c compiler. This=20
creates a defined preprocessor symbol SOURCEFIRE, but nothing in the=20
source code uses that define. Having flags like this is pretty common in=20
development. I suspect it's an artifact of some testing flags that one=20
of the developers uses.

I even did a recursive grep, and found no reference the the SOURCEFIRE=20
directive anywhere other than configure and configure.in, proving it=20
really does nothing.

grep -r SOURCEFIRE *
File configure:
CFLAGS=3D"$CFLAGS -DSOURCEFIRE"
File configure.in:
CFLAGS=3D"$CFLAGS -DSOURCEFIRE",)
