What are you after, exactly? Even on modern OSes, there might be glitches or
small incompatibilities that woud need to be fixed in order for GCC to work
properly, and fixincludes is the tried and proven tool to do that. It is
designed to modify only what needs to be modified, but bugs cannot of course
be ruled out like in any other piece of code.
