Speaking of that, want to take a look at http://gcc.gnu.org/PR14666 and
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR14601 ?  It's all black magic to me...

I can provide the exact files needed to reproduce 14666 on GNU/Linux
(PR14601 needs a Windows system with MSYS).  :->

Adding the ability at configure time to build in given library and include
file search paths would solve 14601 and part of 14666.  But that would just
be a way to cover up the real problems.
