This is not unlike what Joel & others have proposed for newlib since we
have precisely the same problems there (and some you don't have with
libstdc++ :-)
I think that a make target for installing headers into a well known location
in the build tree which mirrors the structure of the installed tree would
simplify a number of issues.
