I solved the problem by modifying texk/tetex/Makefile.
I simply changed the line
    run_texlinks = $(bindir)/texlinks
into
    run_texlinks = $(bindir)/texlinks -f $(web2cdir)/fmtutil.cnf

But isn't it strange that kpathsea would make texlinks look almost 
everywhere but not under $(web2cdir), which is the most natural location 
for fmtutil.cnf ? :)

Best,
François
