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. joe
