I played a bit around and I was unable to make g++ not find the Be
headers. Must be either compiled in or to be found in any specification
file I don't know of. I'm not a gcc expert though.

Thinking about it, I don't find it too surprising that at least the paths
to the POSIX and STL headers are compiled in, as they somehow belong to
the C/C++ languages (not exactly POSIX, but its ISO C subset). Well, and
usually there is no reason, why one should desire not to have the OS API
headers right at hand... save for a crazy effort like ours. ;-)

However, I don't feel like exploring that item any further. I guess, we
can live very well with the current situation. :-)
