This could be the root of all of your problems. The two projects just 
aren't as compatible as one would wish. GNU-Darwin places a lot of 
software in /usr/local and much of this conflicts with the build tools 
that Fink expects to find from Apple's Developer's Tools kit (of which 
most of the relevant stuff is in /usr, and none is in /usr/local). 

If everything in your /usr/local came from GNU-Darwin, and you think you 
can live without it, wiping out the contents of that directory will make 
many of these Fink problems go away. On the other hand if you need to keep 
software in there, then you can either temporarily move /usr/local out of 
the way ("sudo mv /usr/local /usr/distant") or edit your $PATH variable so 
that any references to /usr/local comes after /usr and /sw. 

Unfortunately it sounds like things on your system are tangled up so badly 
that the least painful solutions are all going to be desctructive to Fink, 
GNU-Darwin, or the operating system itself :(
