* [Bug driver/39278] New: subdirectory named 'gcc' with parent in $PATH, before actual gcc executable in $PATH, is treated as executable

If gcc is invoked without an absolute path, and there is a *directory* named
'gcc' which can be found by searching $PATH before the actual gcc executable,
then that location is taken as a starting point for searching for includes. As
a result, standard include files such as stddef.h cannot be found.
In the following example, an empty directory named /home/gdickie/gcc is
created, and its parent /home/gdickie is placed into the search path. This
results in an automatically-generated option "-iprefix
/home/gdickie/../lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.2/", but this directory does not
actually exist.
After the failure is a demonstration with /usr/bin added the front of the path,
which fixes the problem. Another way of fixing the problem is to invoke
/usr/bin/gcc with a full path.
src$ mkdir ~/gcc
src$ PATH=~:$PATH
src$ echo '#include <stddef.h>' > test.c
src$ gcc -v -save-temps -c test.c
