Yes, autoconf always uses /usr/local by default if you don't specify a  
--prefix

CPPFLAGS contain command line arguments to pass to the C-Pre-Processor  
(has nothing to do with prefix)
CFLAGS contain command line arguments to pass to the C-compiler  
(again, nothing to do with prefix)

Take a look at './configure --help'

I'm not sure what you mean... glibtool in Tiger should work.  Show me  
the output you mean.

Plus, you shouldn't be trying to use X11R7.1 ... that will certainly  
not work on Tiger.

I'm not sure what you mean by this...
