[PATCH] build: workaround for some cpp that causes an infinite recursion

[PHO]

Hi,

I found bison >= 3.0 stopped building on MacOS X 10.5 with GCC 4.0.1:

  % uname -a
  Darwin aria.cielonegro.org 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 
16:57:0
  1 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh
  % gcc --version

Building with a separate builddir succeeds, but without one the C
preprocessor enters into an infinite recursion on "#include_next"
directives in lib/*.h:

  % gmake V=1
  [snip]
  depbase=`echo lib/math.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'`;\
  gcc -std=gnu99    -I. -Ilib -I. -I./lib   -g -O2 -MT lib/math.o -MD -MP -MF 
$depbase.Tpo -c -o lib/math.o lib/math.c &&\
  mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po
  In file included from lib/math.h:27,
                   from lib/math.h:27,
                   from lib/math.h:27,

                   from lib/math.h:27,
                   from lib/math.c:3:
  lib/math.h:27:23: error: #include nested too deeply
  Makefile:3414: recipe for target 'lib/math.o' failed
  gmake[2]: *** [lib/math.o] Error 1

I can work around this problem with the attached patch but honestly I
have no idea why the difference between "-Ilib" and "-I./lib" matters.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] build: workaround for some cpp that causes an infinite
 recursion

Some C preprocessors (e.g. GCC 4.0.1) causes an infinite recursion on 
"#include_next" in lib/*.h when "-Ilib" is given and $(top_srcdir) == 
$(top_builddir). We can work around this by passing "-I./lib" instead of 
"-Ilib" for some reason.
