Bug#301064: gcc-3.4 build failure on hurd-i386

Or just hard code it on Debian to /usr/include, even if that is
stupid.

Bug#301064: gcc-3.4 build failure on hurd-i386

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

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.

   If /usr is a symlink to / and gcc uses /usr/include, it will work.
   If /usr is a real directory and gcc uses /usr/include, it will work as well.

And if /usr doesn't exist, it will not work at all.  Hard coding is
just bad, period.

/local/include and /usr/local/include is what I meant.

   #v+
   # In GNU, "/usr" is a four-letter word.
   NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR = /include
   #v-

I think that just changing NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR to:

NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR = $(prefix)/include

would fix all problems, could someone with a GNU/Hurd system check
that?  It would kinda break stuff for people who install gcc in
{/usr,/}local though...

   Again, this should be a Debian-specific change for now.

It will be a Debian specific change forever.
