When I've looked into it before, the opinion generally seemed to be to
ignore the harmless warnings. =(

In inetutils (where we have to use headers, because there's alot of
protocol ``#define'' that we need), we wind up having an include/
directory and a headers/ directory.  We symlink the ones we need in at
configure time. =( It's ugly.

Probably with a bit of hackery.  I don't have a good short term
solution for you.

This is a gentle poke to me to start getting libiberty and libgnu
intergrated, though.
