Shouldn't fixincludes remove assert.h instead of trying to fix it?

What happens if a file in /usr/include includes "assert.h" ? What is
something in /usr/include/sys includes "../assert.h"? We don't want
it to include the possibly broken /usr/include/assert.h. We might have to
have an assert.h file in the fixinclude directory just to avoid this problem.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a fixed copy of the /usr/include/assert.h
file though. It could be perhaps be gcc's assert.h file instead. Changing
where we install assert.h would require fixing some header file search
directory problems though. For instance, TOOL_INCLUDE_DIR comes before
GCC_INCLUDE_DIR when native but after cross, which means such a change may
have undesirable side-effects that will need to be dealt with.
