You could try with this:

.. but I still not see why we need to skip system-headers at all. The comment
in the original patch (r186970)
I am then using that facility in the diagnostics printing module and
in the macro unwinder to avoid printing diagnostics lines that refer
to the locations for built-ins or more generally for reserved
locations. Note that when I start the dance of skipping a built-in
location I also skip locations that are in system headers, because it
turned out that a lot of those built-ins are actually used in system
headers (e.g, "#define INT_MAX __INT_MAX__" where __INT_MAX__ is a
built-in).
suggests that we do not want to give a note for the #define, but it seems a
small price to pay for getting the other cases right.
