No, something else is going on.
In fact, the right "-isystem $(w32api_source)/include" appears in the
c++ command line, by virtue of the FLAGS_FOR_TARGET definition in
configure.in.
However, the c++ front-end also feeds "-isystem /usr/include/w32api"
to cc1plus.exe, before the cvs one in the Makeile. This screws us up.
Is this coming from the specs file? If "-isystem /usr/include/w32api"
has to be there (because gcc won't ever find it otherwise?), then a
workaround for building Cygwin is to replace -isystem with -I in
FLAGS_FOR_TARGET. At least, I think that will work. I'll try it now.
