Ok, specifying the include and library directories in environment
variables, and specifying the rpath and dynamic linker in all of
CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, STAGE1_CFLAGS, and BOOT_CFLAGS seems to work.
(Shouldn't LDFLAGS alone be enough?  It seems it isn't used at least
for building gengenrtl.)  I was tripped up because only CFLAGS is
taken from the environment by ./configure; the others must be given on
the command line for make.
