It seems Theodore would have been better served by a compiler that
didn't provide map.h unless he explicitly asked for it (e.g.  by 
'#include <backward/map.h>' or '-fibackward').

source tree.  Have they been merged into a common directory in
your installation, or is your compiler searching backward/ when
it shouldn't be?
