That is because of the conditional assignment:
  CONFIGURE_ARGS ?= $(DIRPATHS) $(EXTRA_CONFIGURE_ARGS)
  https://buildfarm.opencsw.org/source/xref/opencsw/csw/mgar/gar/v2/gar.lib.mk#863

If you set CONFIGURE_ARGS before the include the ?= does nothing.
Essentially += is adding to the existing value, so it doesn’t work because of the
ordering.

Yes, everything solved now.
