I also use the #include_next scheme to patch header files. When the
header file I want to patch is in a standard include directory, such
as /PREFIX/include, I put a patch header in /PREFIX/sys-include,
which, believe it or not, is a included by GCC by default *before*
/PREFIX/include. My header file then uses #include_next to get the
actual header file.

I do not know for what sys-include is intended, but I've hijacked it
for this purpose, and it works very well!
