I guess this is a reference the the "fixincludes" http://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/fixinc.html which gcc uses to "fix" header files it does not like. In practice, I've found the gcc solution to be far from optimal. I note that the Clang compiler has rejected the fixincludes approach used by gcc. Dave
