Given that some build systems try to encapsulate system headers separately from
those found in /usr/include, primarily through careful arrangement of -I flags,
it would be helpful if there was a warning flag, let's call it
-Wstrict-header-path for now, which would signal when a source file tries to do
the following:
#include "/usr/include/sys/stat.h"
#include "../../../sys/stat.h"
Ian Lance Taylor has indicated to me that this could be done as a check on
fname in do_include_common in libcpp/directives.c. I would be willing to
attempt a patch myself if this enhancement is accepted.
