You can just as well have a bug that requires you to put the option last 
(for example adding -Wno-something or -O0), which is why 
$($@-cflags)/$($*.o-cflags) comes last.

What package is it that has the conflicting utils.h file?  Any chance to 
get it fixed in your distro?  Here I get:

$ find /usr/include/ -name utils.h
/usr/include/libnl3/netlink/utils.h
/usr/include/libnl3/netlink/cli/utils.h
/usr/include/id3/utils.h
/usr/include/octave-3.6.4/octave/utils.h

but none of them have the path in -I.
