When I had to work around this in the X.Org builds, my solution was to
modify the makefile to make temporary files that had the right includes,
so for instance, where the makefile had:
$(CC) -include foo.h -c ../some/other/dir/bar.c
I made a local bar.c that was just:
#include <foo.h>
#include "../some/other/dir/bar.c"
and then compiled that.
The compiler team is considering -include support as an RFE for a future
release, so if you have another use case that supports this, it might
help encourage them.
(For reference, the change I made to the Makefile.am in Xorg to do this
is at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/diff/hw/xfree86/xf1bpp/Makefile.am?id=0f0c321adf2850b3d7aafe281362bfe424cb0ca1
Though it was later refined to work better in parallel builds as you can
see in:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/log/hw/xfree86/xf1bpp/Makefile.am
