The arguments I gave should do it.  Gcc doesn't know that it should look 
in w32api or anywhere else.

Gcc likes to run fixincludes on vendor supplied headers, to get rid of 
non-ANSI constructs.  Those arguments to configure tell gcc to take 
vendor headers from the specified directory.  The gcc build process then 
runs fixincludes on them, and squirrels them away where the installed 
gcc will find them.
