Thanks very much.  I'd like to wait until the people more familiar
with this particular issue can check the patch out before we apply it.
So this fix may not make it into 1.5.7, but presuming everything's
fine, it should make it into 1.5.8.

Thanks again.

Stefan, are you happy with this?

Another possibility might be for us to just add a ./overrides/gcc and
then in our Makefiles export PATH=`pwd`/overrides:${PATH}.  Inside
this gcc override script, we could strip out any offending
-L\s*/usr/lib(/)? and -I\s*/usr/include(/)? occurrences before
calling.

  export PATH=`filter-out-parent-dir ${PATH}`
  exec "$@"

Ugly, but if -L /usr/lib and -I /usr/include are the problem, this
should fix it.  Of course we'd have to symlink to cc, etc. as well for
non-gcc platforms, and this won't help if they don't all use -L and
-I :/

Ahh, that makes sense.  That is, it explains what you are seeing, but
it certainly looks wrong.

Yes, I'll listen in to the discussion on the libtool list...
