The same is true for Clang with my patch i.e. use clang -iquote to get almost 
old behavior. So IMHO on the system where Clang is a replacement for GCC it is 
better to be GCC compatible in such basic things as include behavior.

I don't know how we can get such confidence without committing code and see if 
any issues arrive. On systems where GCC is default compiler I tested my patch 
on wide range of scenarios and there were no problems.

Please let me know if you would like to proceed with this patch or I should 
abandon it.
