That script calls the real compiler to find out various things, so it
sounds like you just need to make it find out what the compiler
include path is:
This appears to be the best option since it works for clang and gcc:
cc -E -Wp,-v - < /dev/null
I guess you can parse the output fine in perl but here is a sed script
to strip out the cruft in the output:
sed -n 's/^ //;/^#include <\.\.\.> search starts here:$/,/^End of
search list\.$/{//!p}'
