Indeed, calling configure like:
  ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
should make this permanent, including during build.

Ok, I just fixed this in trunk/

As said above, this should be permanent when added at configure time.

Humm.. Strange issue.. I am currently unable to find the culprit for this.. If 
you can give more detailed informations, probably we could fix it..

Humm.. from liquidsoap/Makefile:
# User ${user} and group ${group} are expected to exist.
# They are defined in Makefile.defs, written by configure.
but then it will try even if they don't exist..

Probably we should issue a warning and not fail when user and group do not 
exist.. What is the most standard way to check if a user/group exist in both 
linux and BSD ?
