Hi Zack,

Libelous comment! ;-) I can only speak authoritatively for FreeBSD
(although NetBSD appears to configure the same as us): At least in the
offical GNU CVS archive version (and our official /usr/ports
collection patches against the 2.95 branch), we now adhered to Jeff
Law's pronouncement that ports must not disable fixincludes by setting
USER_H.  It took some work to get there but we are there now.

When the compiler is installed in /usr/local, fixincludes is run!

I can't speak authoritatively on what happens when the compiler is
installed as the system compiler.

Regards,
Loren
