We tend to avoid fixincludes for these targets.

IIUC (some guessing here) there are several reasons for that:

- it would have to run on customer's premises, on hosts that don't
  necessarily have the tools requires for fixincludes runs

- the fixincluded headers hidden in our installed tools would lag
  behind, unchanged and potentially incompatible, after customers update
  or reconfigure the target system

- the license of the target system headers doesn't seem to allow
  modifications

So we tend to work around and report upstream problems we identify in
their header files.
