They don't, though.  The *toolchain* defines the header/library search 
paths and there is no portable way to extract those paths from the 
toolchain.  configure code which requires knowledge of the search paths 
is hence inevitably broken and non-portable, and usually fails to obey 
CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS to boot.
