Unfortunately, that seems to be the ugly way to handle this because including the in-tree headers seems to not work and I yet haven't figured out why (there were some changes back and forth so I lost track).
Yes, ugly, and based on Muhammad's response, I plan on dropping this patch entirely, in fact.
Ah, finally I know why it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't ... yes, let's document that somehow.
Maybe we can even warn from the Makefile when the in-tree headers are not installed yet?
Yes. And in fact, after some fooling around getting reacquainted with selftest Makefiles, it turns out that fussy part was setting up to detect the missing header files. And that seems to be working reliably now.
So from there, it's just as easy to automatically build any missing header files and continue as it is to warn about it.
I'll post a patch.
thanks,
