To be quite pedantic, that exact line is always useless (for a time
GCC even warned about it, but that was removed because it was too
annoying and led to autoconf tests failing when they shouldn't).

Non-cross-compiler GCC's always, *always* search /usr/include.

Have a look at config.log. When tests fail the *entire* failed source
file is dumped in there, and all the compilation error and warning
messages.
