About not using it: sure, this works, but now how can a project enable warnings
just for their own headers and not those of the whole system?  This seems to be
a valid use case.

In GNU Guix, we worked around the new behavior described here for GCC >= 6 by
searching headers in CPATH rather than CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, because using
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH would have the headers treated as system headers and break
the required ordering of GCC's own headers.  The annoyance with using CPATH is
that now warnings are issued for the whole collection of headers rather than
just for those of the project being built.

I experimented with using CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and recommendations found here
about making sure none of GCC's internal include paths were being duplicated
through CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH (e.g., those of glib and gcc) but the compilation
still failed like this:

Could it be because including headers from standard includes (before they are
searched) cause them to be loaded (not in the order we'd expect them to?). If
confirmed, this would make it even more slippery to use -isystem for anything
but messing with the standard include paths.

This bug is closed, but I thought I'd write this here so that it is known that
it is still causing headaches at least for some and that the workarounds
proposed don't work for all scenarios.
