You are mixing two methods of nominating options. What these produce
is not defined.

   -DWITHOUT_MAILNEWS
sets WITHOUT_MAILNEWS = 1

   WITHOUT_MAILNEWS=yes
sets WITHOUT_MAILNEWS = yes

The second method is safer as it is possible that the specific value
"yes" is required.

Hardly surprising you're invented version didn't work ;)
I imagine it tries to set "WITHOUT_MAILNEWS=yes" = 1
