That's strange, at least one of those should have had some effect (even
if -cfg= parsing was somehow broken in your version - I remember there
were some problems like that at some point).

LYNX_CFG should work as environment variable.  LYNX_CFG_FILE is #define'd
when lynx is compiled (userdefs.h).

Maybe the script is executing a different lynx binary than "your" lynx?
Have you given the full path as LYNX= in the script?

If you set DEBUG=YES in the script, you should see a lot of stuff.
If even that doesn't work, try -trace for the main lynx.  Let us know
what shows up.
