I will add breaks to all those packages, so the cross packages must
adopt a standard schema for the headers. However it does not matter,
because the include list already is correct:
| #include <...> search starts here:
| /usr/lib/gcc-cross/s390x-linux-gnu/13/include
| /usr/lib/gcc-cross/s390x-linux-gnu/13/../../../../s390x-linux-gnu/include
| /usr/include/s390x-linux-gnu
| /usr/include
| End of search list.
