Please don't use /usr/local/include
I'm desperately trying to tell Configure not to insert -I/usr/local/include into ccflags. There is complete junk in that directory, and I've gone to great lengths to get a gcc compiled that doesn't even look there (unless told to, sigh).
Unfortunately it looks like the only way to do this is to run Configure interactively until I get to that option, and type none. Passing -Dccflags=none doesn't work at all, nor does passing a real value for ccflags, because Configure tacks -I/usr/local/include onto ccflags anyway and goes on its merry way.

Thank you. Unfortunately now I've discovered that gcc chooses to search /usr/local/include anyway. Lovely, huh?

Gah. At this point one is supposed to challenge the gcc developers to a game of bat-leh. Or binary patch gcc. Or possibly its spec file, or where it is pulling that silly idea from.

lol. I worked and worked to try to figure out where gcc was getting that from. I could not find a single file used by gcc that included /usr/local/include!
Finally I took this route: I found out what option to pass to gcc at configuration to tell it to not look in /usr/local/include. I compiled a gcc on another system. Slightly older operating system, but it worked when I tarred it up and moved it over. Ugh, I hate doing that. Then I used that working gcc to compile a new gcc on the target system so

Option to change this is --with-local-prefix=dirname. It doesn't seem to output with ./configure --help on gcc 4.1.1. Not sure if that means it's gone or what. (I may know soon, though. :) )
