I forgot to add, setting CPPFLAGS etc on the command line should
initialize the string of options passed to gcc during the make phase -
these should be options first passed to the gcc invocation on the
command line. You can confirm this by searching config.log for the exact
line. So gcc should search the dirs you specified first before looking
up the standard dirs.
