Hi!
I distinctly remember that /usr/local/ used to be one of the places
that configure looked for headers and libraries, but this no longer
seems to happen (I have to pass --site-prefixes=/usr/local). Is this
intentional?
On some OSs you can't pass /usr/local, because the compiler issues a
warning about reordering include directories. This breaks configure.
On others (FreeBSD for example) it's necessary to add it, because a
lot of goodies are found there. So the best way would be to make this
dependent on the OS at hand, but nobody has come to do this.
