Some shells used to use "%" as a prompt by default, so it's sometimes
used to denote shell input, the way you often see "$" being used.

The defaults are "--with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs --with-discount=/usr".
Since you're using the packaged versions of both of these, I think you
can leave these at their defaults and just run ./configure without
arguments.
