It looks like only one of them was necessary -- the "LIBS" variable.

I was also able to get ifeffit itself to work without any of the
command line flags for configure.  All the -fPIC business was
necessary to get the ifeffit wrapper to compile against libifeffit.a
and thus to get Athena and Artemis to work.

I don't know either.  I see a few environment variables that clearly
indicate 64-bit-ness, but I don't know how consistent that is accross
unixes or even across linux distributions.
