Has this been reported as a bug to Altera? Paolo.gai's post is from 15 months ago, yet we also just encountered this problem still in NIOS 6.0SP1.

It&#39;s amusing what goes wrong. When GTF_GENERATED is undefined the buggy line introduces a "-I" with no directory argument suffix. GCC then interprets this as an include directive using its space-separated syntax, and gobbles the the next valid -I<alteralib> directive as gibberish, thus removing the valid library path that ought to have been included.

I&#39;m always loath to modify the system files for fear of breaking on the next upgrade, so we&#39;ve worked around this problem by predefining GTF_GENERATED as ".".
