Thank you for your efforts.

Ah ah!  So this is an issue with your compiler, not with Automake (good
for us, bad for you I guess ;-).  In fact, the script should work if you
compiler truly gave precedence to the files residing in directories
specified with earlier '-I' options (as it does on my system).

I'm thus closing this bug report as "not an Automake bug".  In case you
manage to find out what is wrong with your compiler's setup, feel free
to post it here, as more information might always be welcome by future
readers and bug reporters.

Thanks for your patience, and good luck,
 Stefano
