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.
