If I get CPPFLAGS to exactly that I get a nasty:

checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I get it to CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/include/rpm"

CPPFLAGS does appear to get set to the above as it shows up all over the place in config.log :(. Perhaps its some bug on a gentoo system? I'm going to try to setup a chroot with a non-gentoo toolchain so that I can make sure.
