Did you read what I said why this is failing in first place? All sane
build systems work fine because they use pkg-config already. This #$%#$%
is singular shit by deciding that Linux must have things in /usr/include
and hard-coding that. So no, I do not want to penalize everything
everywhere just for the sake of one or two crappy packages.
