:I just wonder why there aren't more ifdefs spread over the tree then.

:Another suggestion by asmodai was:
:
:.if defined(BOOTSTRAPPING)
:CFLAGS+= -I. -I${SRCTREE}/include
:.else

:Andy

    No, you can't do this because the bootstrap programs are linked against
    system libraries and the structures used in the system libraries are
    not necessarily compatible with the structures used in the latest
    source.

    Anything built with the system's libraries has to use the system's header
    files.
