It seems that CPPFLAGS/CXXFLAGS are not passed from top level configure to
subdirs(bfd/gold, ets) if I launch
../binutils-2.23.c/configure CPPFLAGS=-I$TOOLS_DIR/include ...
But LDFLAGS are passed OK.
CPPFLAGS=-I$TOOLS_DIR/include ../binutils-2.23.c/configure
Doesn't work also.

The only way (without explicit export) I've found is to run "make" with these options.
That is why "global export" works.
So finally I got:
CPPFLAGS=-I$TOOLS_DIR/include ../binutils-2.23.c/configure LDFLAGS=-L$TOOLS_DIR/lib --with-zlib ...
make CPPFLAGS=-I$TOOLS_DIR/include all

Looks quite hackish but works.

Thank you for your comments.
