Alternatively, GCC could simply ignore the -I switches that would
trigger those warnings in situations where those warnings are now
emitted. Is there ever any reason you'd *want* GCC to do that
reordering? I can't think of any occasion when I'd want to avoid
fixincluded headers... they have after all been fixincluded for a
reason (and if the fixincluded headers are broken the solution is
to delete the broken ones and fix fixincludes, not to supply
an extra -I/usr/include switch to everything!)
