Why do you need this?  For installed-compiler testing, the compiler 
already searches the obvious places.  (I'm not trying to be cute: I'm 
genuinely curious.)

I agree that it would be nice if -print-search-dirs listed include 
directories.  It already lists the paths searched for programs and 
libraries, so that seems like a logical place to add header directories.
