Configure doesn't have an option for this.  The best thing is to put
them in a place that gcc would normally look for include files and
libraries.

If for some reason you can't do that, it should work to simply
redefine the values of CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS when running
make.

  ./configure ...
  make CFLAGS="-O -g -I$HOME/Gnu/include" \
     CXXFLAGS="-O -g -I$HOME/Gnu/include" LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/Gnu/lib
