The search starts from the directory that strfuncs.cpp is in, not the
directory you run gcc from. At a guess, you should be using:

#include "../VS.h"

(Assuming VS.h is in the directory that contains the strfuncs sub-directory)

"There's a bug, please fix it" is useless, the most likely explanation
is simply user error, but you haven't provided enough information to
know for sure.
