Not when the compiler is installed in /usr/local it shouldn't. The current
behaviour is correct and desirable. /usr/local is traditionally for add-on
stuff. You added on a vital VITAL development tool, your compiler. Why
would one assume if you are brave enough to use a replacement compiler
that you dont want to use replacement and addon libraries too?
If you REALLY wanna get around this, configure your egcs with --prefix=/usr
so that everything gets installed in /usr/bin, /usr/include etc. *THAT* is
when adding -I/usr/local/include would be The Wrong Thing.
Kean.
