This is becuase GCC and EGCS "helpfully" adds /usr/local/include and
a few other directories that are more sensible, since they're actually
populated with something during the 'make install'.
This feature has always done me more harm than help.
Thanx for announcing the closure on this, JP. I'll now delete
