Yes, that's what I was afraid of. Once you add -I, there is no way to
access the /usr/include files matching names that are also in the -I
path. You could use #include "/usr/include/xxx.h", but no one does
that, and I can imagine including a system include that itself wants to
include one of those /usr/include files rather than the pgsql file.
Are you suggesting moving the ecpg files into pgsql/include/ecpg? Do we
know that no one using ecpg is going to be including a /usr/include file
that needs /usr/include/xxx.h?
