[DISCLAIMER: I'm writing this out of selfishness, as I'd really like
to see more people testing vim-* on pkgsrc. Apologies for the detour]

This won't answer your question directly, but you can always try and
build vim on your system using pkgsrc [1] [2] .

Vim on pkgsrc is built around separate packages, the master being
vim-share [3] and in your case you want vim-gtk2 [4].

Then you can modify the Makefile [5] adding your flags or just insert
them from the command line:

$ cd [path-to-pkgsrc]/editors/vim-gtk2 && bmake <insert your flags here> install

I can't guarantee this will be an easy ride, though. I had to disable
fortify to make my package work on Linux.
