Eric - can you try your testcase on GCC sources as of around the beginning of
August 2003?

This is when I completely rewrote the whole file lookup mechanism, and contrary
to Zack's claims it did work 100% correctly, to the best of my knowledge, and
would always get links, both hard and soft, correct with #pragma once correct no
matter how contorted or renamed the file was.  Then only issue in that code was
the -remap bug that has since been fixed.

However, since that date, various people have hacked at the code who probably
didn't understand it.  Zack did various "optimizations" and Apple added a bunch
of stuff for obfuscated include file lookup and line number stuff.  I think it
is very likely it was broken along the way.

If it was broken back around 5th August 2003 I will look into this, as it was my
new code.
