Re: gcc includes wrong header

[John Ellson <ellson at research dot att dot com>]

gcc is somehow treating /home/ellson/FIX/SunOS/include as special because
gcc was built and installed with prefix=/home/ellson/FIX/SunOS

If I add a softlink 
/home/ellson/FIX/SunOS/include->/home/ellson/FIX/SunOS/include_ln
then -I/home/ellson/FIX/SunOS/include_ln
the problem goes away.

Could somebody just drop me a one liner that this bug report has been 
received?
