Comment(by fbissey):

 I am looking at this patch again. I am not sure about the last two lines
 in this section:
 {{{
 extra_include_dirs = ['%s/include/python2.6'%SAGE_LOCAL,
                  # finally, standard C/C++ include dirs
                  '/usr/local/include/',
                  '/usr/include']
 }}}
 Are they really necessary? Shouldn't a standard compiler look into these
 by default. After all the
 other -I... arguments have been searched without success. Furthermore in a
 scenario where
 someone has installed their own compiler and want to use it rather the
 system, and have even installed
 there own libraries compiled with it (like a prefix basically but it
 doesn't have to be that complete) that
 means system headers may be put before their own installed headers. It is
 not a very nice situation
 which may be hard to debug.

 Of course you could argue that it is not a likely scenario but it could
 happen. There may be more
 people than we think that use their own compilers rather than the system
 one.
