It actually does nothing.

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

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

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