The existing -B option won't find the include files anyway.  That's
what the -isystem options are for.  The only thing the -B will ever
find is libc.a, and -L should do just as well for that purpose.  The
problem is that if gcc sees the -B but doesn't use it, it prints a
warning to stderr, which confuses configure and makes it think that
the compile failed, wreaking havoc on config.h.

But, this aspect of configure has proven quite tricky lately.  Expect
lots of testing before I commit anything.
