It's indeed an odd case, and not what I expected. The problem seems to
be in the partialy path expansion, which could also explain why it worked 
in my case and not in your case (differences in dir structure, symlinks or
random garbadge in "empty" direntries). 

Handling option "-Fi../inc"
interpreting option "-Fi../inc"
Hint: Path "/inc/" not found
Handling option "-Fi../powerpc"
interpreting option "-Fi../powerpc"
Hint: Path "/powerpc/" not found
Handling option "-Fi../unix"
interpreting option "-Fi../unix"
Hint: Path "/unix/" not found
Handling option "-Fipowerpc"
interpreting option "-Fipowerpc"
Hint: Path "/powerpc/" not found

If it where my machine, my next step would be to look at the syscalls
(strace) to see if I could find something strange there. 
Anyway, in both cases it involves single stepping the compiler.
(probably putting a breakpoint in sysunix.inc, and stepping from there)

Afaik that binary from me _had_ debugging info, so you could do that. (but
I don't know if you have done that before?)
