tools/lib has a 1.1.0 copy of libtraceevent. If a newer system version is installed then its headers will go in /usr/include. As -I has priority over system headers the 1.1.0 version gets used in preference to the system one, which isn't what is wanted. To make the behavior match expectations use -idirafter so that any system headers have priority over the tools/lib version.
