As discussed offline, this is also a possible way to go. but looks like it requires making sure every toolchain has correct logic to deduce include paths which is more work and could become outdated, in addition to that it is also possible to introduce breakages due to new search logic. whereas this solution fixes the problem for all target. So we decided to keep it clangd specific.
