This is a cross-post from gcc-help as there haven't been any replies on gcc-help since two days ago. Hope someone could help.

I have built GCC from gcc-6-branch in MSYS2 with mingw-w64 CRT on Windows today.
Now I have a relocation problem:
Assuming mingw-w64 headers are located in the follow directory,which is, the native_system_header_dir:
> C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/include
I have built GCC and it has that hard-coded path.
When I compile something using g++ -v, the headers are searched in the following paths:
```
ignoring nonexistent directory "/mingw32/include"
ignoring duplicate directory "C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/i686-w64-mingw32/include"
#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/include/c++/6.1.1
C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/include/c++/6.1.1/i686-w64-mingw32
C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/include/c++/6.1.1/backward
C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/include
C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/../../../../include
C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/include-fixed
C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/include
End of search list.
```
The C++ headers are searched before any mingw-w64 headers, which is just fine.
However, if I move gcc to another directory, let's say, C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/,
then re-compile the same program with g++ -v, the headers are searched in the following paths:
```
ignoring duplicate directory "C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/lib/gcc/../../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/include"
ignoring nonexistent directory "C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/include"
ignoring nonexistent directory "/mingw32/include"
ignoring duplicate directory "C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/lib/gcc/../../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/include-fixed"
ignoring duplicate directory "C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/lib/gcc/../../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/include"
ignoring nonexistent directory "C:/MinGW/MSYS2/mingw32/i686-w64-mingw32/include"
#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/include
C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/../../../../include
C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/include-fixed
C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/6.1.1/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/include
C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/6.1.1
C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/6.1.1/i686-w64-mingw32
C:/this_is_a_new_directory/mingw32/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/6.1.1/backward
End of search list.
```
This time the C++ headers are searched after mingw-w64 headers, which causes the following error:
```

```
Do you know how to solve this problem (modifications to gcc source code are expected)?
Thanks in advance.
