Header files are generally in /usr/include, but GCC fixes some of them
that wouldn't compile with GCC or simply that are buggy, and stores
them in its own installation tree.  Those that don't require fixing
remain in /usr/include.  Perhaps you're running GCC on a machine that
doesn't have development header files?
