My apologies for letting this go for so long.
I am not expert in the domain of cross compilers, and I can think of
plausible reasons both to have the PREFIX_INCLUDE_DIR searched and
not to have it searched. It would be consistent with what is done
for other directories, like LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR, not to search it;
however, it appears that this directory has been searched in cross
compilers since forever, so people might be depending on the existing
behavior.
I would appreciate opinions. Dan, I'm cc:ing you because you've had
your fingers in this area recently.
