Problems with finding headers for linux 2.4.22 during util-linux make

While attempting to build linux from scratch ( see www.linuxfromscratch.org )
I run into a nasty problem with util-linux :

   http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/linux/util-linux.log

Essentially the configure process for util-linux 2.12 can not find the headers
even though they are all installed in /tools/include.

A separate test of gcc with a simple c program the #include <scsi/scsi.h>
works but the configure in util-linux does not. What's up?
