 My apologies for letting this go for so long.
 
 I am not expert in the domain of cross compilers, and I can think of
 plausible reasons both to have the PREFIX_INCLUDE_DIR searched and
 not to have it searched.  It would be consistent with what is done
 for other directories, like LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR, not to search it;
 however, it appears that this directory has been searched in cross
 compilers since forever, so people might be depending on the existing
 behavior.
 
 I would appreciate opinions.  Dan, I'm cc:ing you because you've had
 your fingers in this area recently.
