I tried remerging gcc to see if the missing file would be installed, but it did not happen.

Reproducible: Always

confirmed all versions

the ebuild already attempts to prune symlinks and fixed header files.  gcc's fixed-include function has always operated this way (scanning /usr/include/).  guess current logic doesnt trim the symlink yet (top of gcc-compiler_src_install).

this should be fixed already.  seems to be on all my systems.  re-open if a re-emerge of gcc still includes the symlink.
