When I installed gcc on my system I modified it to look in /usr/newinclude
for headers and then in /usr/include if not found.  I then copied header
files into the new directory and modified them.  This leaves the original
header files untouched and in fact cc will still work if necessary using
the old header files.  What's the point of having an ANSI compiler if you
don't have the ANSI standard prototypes?
