you'll need to update SDKROOT, CPPFLAGS and CXX variables. For example, here's the relevant part of my build script, modified to work with 4.0:

export SDKROOT=$DEVROOT/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.0.sdk
export PATH=$DEVROOT/usr/bin:$PATH
# Set up relevant environment variables
export CPPFLAGS="-I$SDKROOT/usr/lib/gcc/arm-apple-darwin10/4.0.1/
include/ -I$SDKROOT/usr/include/ -miphoneos-version-min=4.0"
export CFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -arch armv6 -pipe -no-cpp-precomp -isysroot
$SDKROOT"
export CPP="$DEVROOT/usr/bin/cpp $CPPFLAGS"
export CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"

Dynamic library location generated by the Unix package

 LIBPATH=$LIBFILE.dylib
    LIBNAME=`basename $LIBPATH`

export LDFLAGS="-L$SDKROOT/usr/lib/ -Wl,-
dylib_install_name,@executable_path/$LIBNAME"

Static library that will be generated for ARM

LIBPATH_static=$LIBFILE.a
LIBNAME_static=`basename $LIBPATH_static`
# TODO: add custom flags as necessary for package
./configure CXX=$DEVROOT/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-g++-4.0.1 CC=
$DEVROOT/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.0.1 LD=$DEVROOT/usr/bin/ld --host=arm-apple-darwin
