unfortunately this is *not* the configuration summary.
Pd's ./configure script recusively calls the configure script in the
portaudio/ folder (even if you specifify '--disable-portaudio'¹), and
the output you are seeing is from portaudio's configure.

specifying '--enable-alsa' doesn't magically enable ALSA: you will
*also* need the alsa development files installed.

(as mentioned numerous times on this list) a *very* good start to
building Pd on Debian-like systems is to install all the tools needed to
build the official "puredata" Debian package:

    apt-get build-dep puredata

another trick (also mentioned a few times on this list; iirc at least
once in direct reply to an email from you ;-)) is that mostly you can
build another version of a package "the Debian way":

    $ sudo apt-get install devscripts
    $ dget
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/puredata/puredata_0.46.7-3.dsc
    $ cd puredata-0.46.7
    $ mk-build-deps -i -r -s sudo
    $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
    $ sudo dpkg -i ../*_0.46.7-*.deb

¹ portaudio/configure is called, but the resulting Pd binary is built
without portaudio.
