How about making gcc's configure test smart so that when you do "--prefix=" (the normal way to configure any program for the GNU system) it looks for headers in /include /local, and if you do --prefix=/usr (as Debian does) it would look for the files in /usr/include /usr/local?
This is the right thing IMHO, it removes the hardcoded bit and makes it work as it should on both GNU and Debian GNU/Hurd (and GNU/Linux for that matter). I guess a simple patch would be to have the file that contains the /include bit to be autogenerated based on $includedir from autoconf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
