Ah, right. Now I got it.

That's why I suggested doing something to *gcc* to fix this. Each
release of gcc simply knows (or should know, at least), where its
own private private files are. Maybe a little change to the gcc
sources, switching the order of searching, so that $LIBRARY_PATH
and $C_INCLUDE_PATH are searched after the version-specific 
directories.
