When reviewing #181802 (comment)
I noticed outdated code that attempted to override /usr/include.

sed -i \
    -e "s,glibc_header_dir=/usr/include,glibc_header_dir=$libc_dev/include", \
    gcc/configure

glibc_header_dir was removed from gcc-4.6 and later in
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=6961669f48aa18168b2d7daa7e2235fbec7cb636
(Dec 2010, "(gcc_cv_ld_eh_frame_hdr): Only check GNU ld for --eh-frame-hdr.").

Since then gcc got --with-native-system-header-dir= which nixpkgs uses
for all packaged gcc versions.

The change should be a no-op.

`glibc_header_dir` was removed from `gcc-4.6` and later in
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=6961669f48aa18168b2d7daa7e2235fbec7cb636
(Dec 2010, "(gcc_cv_ld_eh_frame_hdr): Only check GNU ld for  --eh-frame-hdr.").

Since then gcc got `--with-native-system-header-dir=` which `nixpkgs` uses
for all packaged `gcc` versions.

The change should be a no-op.
