Oops, I answered too quickly. I thought that USE_TOOLS+=xargs would
automatically add something to CONFIGURE_ARGS, but it doesn't. So the
best way to solve this is this:

USE_TOOLS+=       xargs
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=  XARGS=${TOOLS_PLATFORM.xargs}

or whichever environment variable the configure script expects.
