The right way of doing this is by issuing the right -I options to cpp.
That's how we do it all the time. In this case, you have one directory
called, say, "myinclude", with all the subdirectories and header files
you need.

Then you just need to say cc -Imyinclude and those files will be searched
for before the ones in /usr/include.
