PATCH: cpp include directory search order warning


Here is a fix for the problems noted in this thread:

<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-07/msg01463.html>.

The warning from remove_dup_dirs is changed to an information message
generated only when the "-v" option is used.  This allows various
autoconf macros to reorder the search patch for includes and change
system directories to non-system directories without any warnings from
the preprocessor.  This will fix the problems caused by the warning.
However, don't complain to me about an incorrectly ordered include
search :-)

Without the fix, it is not possible to install libintl, libiconv,
etc in either the GCC prefix or local_prefix directories without
there being cpp warnings building packages which use these libraries.
In some cases, these warnings break configure scripts.

I changed the message itself because it's about the change of a
system directory to a non-system directory, and not about reordering.

The change to configure.in just fixes a minor problem of duplicated
directories when local_prefix and prefix have the same value.

I have attempted to summarize the site configuration issues regarding
include searching and library searching in a paragraph added to
install.texi.

Tested with no regressions on hppa2.0-hp-hpux11.00.

OK for main?

	* configure.in (PREFIX_INCLUDE_DIR): Don't define if prefix and
	local_prefix are the same.
	* cppinit.c (remove_dup_dirs): Change warnings to verbose information
	messages.  Revise message text.
	* doc/install.texi (--with-local-prefix): Further document usage of
	this option.
	* configure: Rebuilt.
