Jeff,
Before the 08/03 snapshot, --without-local-prefix and
--with-local-prefix=no used to define 'local_prefix' as nothing.
This kept /usr/local/include out of the include directory search path.
That is the behavior I desire, and this is what used to happen when I
specified '--with-local-prefix=no'. Currently, I edit gcc/Makefile and set
"local_prefix = ", but there should be a way to specify my desire to
configure.
My $.02.
