This may be me being stupid, but I don't understand the whole -I vs -iquote
thing. If I just use -I, and then a commandline like:
gcc -v -I/tmp/home-alexms-epage-generated/linux/x86/gcc/include
-I/home/alexms/epage/platform/linux/x86/gcc/include
-I/home/alexms/epage/platform/linux/x86/include
-I/home/alexms/epage/platform/linux/include -I/home/alexms/epage/include
-I/home/alexms/epage/libraries/ole/include -o api.o api.c
with libraries/ole/include containing a file called endian.h, I get:
#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:

Because the endian.h in libraries/ole/include overrides the system one. I
thought the whole point of -I was to be the "..." headers, and you used -j for
the system headers, so why are my -I headers being coerced into being bracketed
headers?
Obviously with -I-, this worked fine as all the -I headers remained as quoted
ones, and the /usr/include etc. headers were bracketed, so <endian.h> got
picked up correctly. So this seems broken to me, you shouldn't need to go
through and replace all your -I's with -iquote's, purely to give -I a behaviour
it was supposed to have in the first place, and use -j for system headers?
