Not directly answering your initial question, but I have found the -H
compiler flag useful for troubleshooting from where files are included:
If you change the compiler command line from gcc/clang "... -o foo.o"
to "-H", then the compiler outputs a list of header files paths as they
are included by the preprocessor.
