I'm not sure if there's a previous discussion, but the short version
is that the GCC build process includes a 'fixincludes' step which
installs modified versions of system headers in some path that GCC
uses in preference to /usr/include. Originally this was done to work
around broken system includes in proprietary operating systems that
couldn't easily be fixed upstream. In the case of FreeBSD GCC's
fixincludes actually just installs broken headers, and removing its
broken copies is the easy fix.
