6.3.2 build, more questions

Okay, most of my compilation problems are path related.
Now, when running configure, the conftest program refuses to
compile due to a library path issue. The system I use has it's
gnu 'things' in assorted places which I did not arrange, so I must
adapt to their locations. How do I specify the -I and -L paths
for gcc? I've tried adjusting the template file's SRCH_LIB, but
this is only a guess on my part - I've not found any documentation
for the template files.

CC:gcc
AROPT:crs
CFLAGS:
SHARED_LIB:-fPIC
ALL:
SRCH_INC:
SRCH_LIB:/opt/FSFutil/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.4/2.7.2
USE_LOCALE:no
DLSUFFIX:.so
YFLAGS:-d
YACC:

I've also tried the command line options:

./configure --with-template=sparc_solaris-gcc \
--with-includes='where gcc's includes are' \
--with-libs='where gcc's libs are'

substituting the text accordingly. What is the proper method to inform
configure of where the libraries and include files are?

Thanks for bearing with me.
