I don't think we will get anywhere in this matter.  I have just been
told (in a private mail) that I've generated too much email already,
and that, simply put, I should shut up and crawl back into the hole
from which I emerged.

(It's possible that I'm responsible for some of this; if so, I'm
sorry.  It's about the second time in my life when I get to such an
impasse being unable to get through to somebody, to the degree that
I'm beginning to question my own ability to talk to people without
immediately alienating them.)

Anyway, as I see it, we have one more chance to get this done as we
think it should: we could submit patches to the configury to do what
we want, i.e. to use system headers at build time and not to install
GCC's headers (except stdarg.h and varargs.h) at "make install" time.

But there's a chance that these patches will be rejected without any
serious consideration, so if someone wants to try this, I suggest to
be prepared for disappointment.

On the other hand, I might be too involved in this to have a clear
view of the situation, so feel free to disregard these remarks.
