Well, the problem is that you weren't changing to the clfs user  
properly.

If you su - clfs  then you won't have that issue,

if you su clfs  then you will have that issue.

Why did you have CPPFLAGS and LDLFAGS set as root when you su to clfs  
anyway?

When you su - clfs it'll take up the environment of the clfs user so  
you will have no issues.

I don't think this belongs in section 5.2. Makes no sense how CPPFLAGS  
and LDFLAGS would be in the clfs user's environment when you enter it  
properly.

How did you change to the clfs user?

Sincerely,
