It's actually mildly funny :-). The reason for this error was the 
following contents in /etc/sorcery/local/depends/lirc.p:

   LIRCOPTS="--with-transmitter --with-x --with-driver=serial
   --with-major=61 --with-port=0x3f8 --with-irq=4 \  "

LIRCOPTS of course goes into OPTS, so the trailing backslash was there too.
I should have known better. Thank you all who replied!

I also found the reason of CFLAGS being ignored and fixed it. Could 
somebody please try to build lirc (and pylirc if you need it) and let me 
know if it doesn't work?

Thanks,
Sergey.
