These changes have no effect on the outcome for me.  I don't think it's 
a CFLAGS issue because if I tar -zxvf the findutils tarball myself, 
then ./configure it myself (using the same command as that which is 
listed in the config.log file from previous failed attempts at emerge 
findutils, located 
in /var/tmp/portage/findutils-4.1.20-r1/work/findutils-4.1.20/config.log), 
I get a successful configure.  And yet, emerge findutils still fails at 
configure.

The difference between what's happening when I emerge findutils and when 
I ./configure it myself is here (summarized to one segment each below 
these portions):

What's going on here?

The value of my CFLAGS variable has been included twice here on the 
command line for the attempted emerge findutils, and I have two targets 
for the compile now instead of only one with the manual configuration.  
Where is /usr/afsws/lib/pam_afs.so.1 coming from as a compile object?  
It's not there when I do this manually.  WTF?  I checked my running 
Gentoo box against my server that I'm building as a Gentoo box, and 
the .ebuild files for findutils are identical.  Can anyone tell me 
what's happening here for this screwy configure attempt by the portage 
system?

Thanks in advance.
