It is not correct. It adds in another search path and just hides the
issue. We should *never* be putting -I/usr/include/slang on the compiler
commandline at all period.

I'd assumed in all the email traffic that this was clear and that
another solution was being worked on that would be acceptable upstream
too.

Perhaps a better option might be: -I=/usr/include/slang ? That assumes
that all kernel gcc versions would accept the = notation, that should be
true by now?

Cheers,
