I seem to have solved my problem and I'm not sure if I would categorize it as
an egcs/g++ bug, but egcs/g++ could have detected and possibly compensated for
it.
(The problem was, essentially, whitespace in CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH).
gcc must simply silently accept whitespace in CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, as
it does now. Unix permits whitespace in directory names, although it
is not common. On Windows and MacOS, whitespace in directory names is
both permitted and common. It would be wrong for gcc to prohibit
whitespace in environment variables which name directories or files,
such as CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH.
