Patch: f2c.h Question: objc backend

I noticed when porting the egcs rpm package to the alpha machine that f2c.h was
left out.  When I mentioned to people that /usr/local/include/f2c.h was left
out I was informed that egcs was wrong.  nothing should go into /usr/local with
prefix=/usr.

Christopher took the initiative to fix it.  If its the wrong fix we are interested 
in hearing so.  I can imagine NFS setups that the original would not be well suited
for.  The reason f2c.h is being picked on is it is the only file in the egcs
package to go into /usr/local with prefix=/usr

Exactly why is it a problem?  What does your include search order come
out as?  I'm not sure the current install rule is correct for a
cross-compiler, but the whole g77 build process seems to be in
question in that case.
