I'm not sure you got what I was saying. I don't think this can be
fixed quickly. This is just another bunch of technical debt that will
have to be addressed carefully on a case-by-case basis and run through
autobuilders in all possible configurations.

This type of include-related issues is always brittle and will lead to
build failures if we don't consider our moves.
