  Hmm, does this even happen when it is being built as a cross- rather than
native- compiler?  That would be a GCC bug if so; cross-compilers are meant
not to look in the standard system directories as if they were native, see the
docs for LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR, SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIR, STANDARD_INCLUDE_DIR and
INCLUDE_DEFAULTS(*) for full details.

  So can't it just go in $prefix/$target/share instead of $prefix/share after
a bit of fiddling with configure options?
