Seemingly identical gcc versions, except one searches subdirectories with -I

[Robert Banfield <rbanfield at flenvironmental dot org>]

I have come across this problem and despite my searches I have been 
unable to find a solution.  I have two Fedora Core 6 machines.  Both 
have the same version of gcc/g++ and the development programs/libraries 
installed.  Both are x86_64.  When I run the command:

[rbanfiel@localhost BobBackup]$ g++ -v 
-Ijasper-uuid/src/libjasper/include -Iinclude -Igdal/port -Igdal/gcore 
-Igdal/alg -Igdal/ogr -Igdal/frmts -Izlib -Ipoco/XML/include 
-Ipoco/Foundation/include -Iinfo-zip -DUSE_ZLIB -DNO_CRYPT 
-DHAVE_JASPER_UUID -D_unzip_H -Dcimg_display_type=0 -c abc.cpp -o abc.o

I get largely the same output, except for the result.  On one machine, 
it compiles (yay!).  On the other machine, it complains about a missing 
header file.  The header file cpl_config.h is located in 
gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/dgn/dist which is a subdirectory of gdal/ogr which 
is specified on the command line above.  I can successfully get it to 
compile by using -Igdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/dgn/dist.  Unfortunately there 
are tons of subdirectories in the various libraries I am including, and 
I'd love to not have to specify each and every one.

A diff on the outputs of both versions with the -v flag shows the following:

// One compiles, the other doesn't.

I have checked my environment also and come up with nothing which would 
explain the difference in behaviors.  Finally, here is a log from the 
compile on the machine in which it worked.
