Be careful that you don't do this in your Makefile:

CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH = <blah>

foo.o: foo.cc
       export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
       g++ -c foo.cc

This will not export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH for g++, as make runs each
line in a separate shell.

Instead, you should say:

  export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH; g++ -c foo.cc

or

  env CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=${CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH} g++ -c foo.cc

or some equivalent construct.
