That's what I suggested a year ago when this problem was discussed in
the context of GCC 2.8.x.  I think using "-imacros" to include
sys/version.h will solve this cleanly and reliably.

The problem is that there seems to be no way of having specs expand
environment variables (last time I looked), so you cannot expand
$DJDIR or $C_INCLUDE_PATH to know the exact path to sys/version.h, and
"-imacros" doesn't look along the include parth automatically (again,
last time I checked).

Perhaps some of this has changed since then, and the solution is just
waiting to be discovered?

Could someone please look at the latest GCC/EGCS sources and see if
there is some way of including a header whose name is relative to the
include directory?
