After discussing the issue on erlang-questions (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/erlang-programming/OnMkdZpml8E) --enable-native-libs seems not to be working at all on Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM) and Amazon Linux AMI 2015.03 (HVM) (the ones I was able to test) but with a workaround only the HiPE applications gets the native libs treatment.

Be brave and execute the command:

   make clean

before everything else (i.e. when you get the tarball or at the point 
where you now are).  Then issue a

   ./otp_build autoconf

and then the

   CFLAGS='...' ./configure ...
and
   make

commands as you have them above.
