I'm not sure what else to try at this point.  Does gnulib even recognize
that your compiler supports #include_next?  I'm not as familiar with the
include_next module as Bruno is, so I'm still hoping he may have some
advice for dealing with this issue.

That makes it seem like configure gave up on include_next, and went with
absolute-header instead; but indeed, that means that
/usr/vac/include/math.h's use of include_next will find our replacement
math.h instead of the intended system math.h.
