Consider yourself figuratively shot :-D

Most likely, indeed.

Yup.

I'd pass HOST_CFLAGS, HOST_LDFLAGS and HOST_CPPFLAGS, for a start.  I
don't think we need HOST_LIBS, since fixinc has never needed any
library other than libiberty.

Consider a patch that passes these variables down to fixinc (without
the HOST_ prefix, of course :-) pre-approved for mainline, and
strongly recommended for the 3.0 branch, subject to Mark's approval.
