That's a Bourne shell command.  The format is

  VARIABLE=value command argument1

which means: run "command", with argument "argument1"; and in addition to
that, for this one command only, set the environment variable "VARIABLE"
to "value".

It won't work in C shell, which makes the "%" prompt a bit suspicious.
The closest csh equivalent is probably:

  env CC="gcc -no-cpp-precomp" ./configure bla-bla

which really isn't using the C shell at all -- it's using the external
"env" program.
