@node Header Dirs
@chapter Standard Header File Directories

@code{GCC_INCLUDE_DIR} means the same thing for native and cross.  It is
where GNU CC stores its private include files, and also where GNU CC
stores the fixed include files.  A cross compiled GNU CC runs
@code{fixincludes} on the header files in @file{$(tooldir)/include}.
(If the cross compilation header files need to be fixed, they must be
installed before GNU CC is built.  If the cross compilation header files
are already suitable for ISO C and GNU CC, nothing special need be
done).

@code{GPLUSPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR} means the same thing for native and cross.  It
is where @command{g++} looks first for header files.  The C++ library
installs only target independent header files in that directory.

@code{LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR} is used only by native compilers.  GNU CC
doesn't install anything there.  It is normally
@file{/usr/local/include}.  This is where local additions to a packaged
system should place header files.

@code{CROSS_INCLUDE_DIR} is used only by cross compilers.  GNU CC
doesn't install anything there.

@code{TOOL_INCLUDE_DIR} is used for both native and cross compilers.  It
is the place for other packages to install header files that GNU CC will
use.  For a cross-compiler, this is the equivalent of
@file{/usr/include}.  When you build a cross-compiler,
@code{fixincludes} processes any header files in this directory.
