This is either a bug in the version that you're using, a wrongly installed
compiled or simply wrong -I directives passed to the compiler.  The
crosscompiler rpms as distributed on oss will only search:

 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/mips-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include
 /usr/mips-linux/include

by default.  I just tried, egcs-1.1.2-2 also doesn't search silently in
other directories.  So it's not a problem of gcc itself which leaves the
makefiles.  If you find any instance of the wrong directories being
searched, please tell me.  Or better, include a patch :-)
