-header-mapfile breaks header search rules?



I'm having difficulty porting some code that was developed on linux. The code contains a header called Time.h which is in a subdirectory of my project's main directory called Utils. The problem is that one of the system headers (<ctime>) does

	#include <time.h>

and because of what I think is a bug, it gets my project's Utils/Time.h instead of /usr/include/time.h.

I know HFS is case-insensitive, but I think it's a bug because the Utils subdirectory is _not_ mentioned in any header paths I've defined. Its parent is, and in my source files, headers from Utils are always included like this:

	#include "Utils/Time.h"

After much experimentation, I found that the bug is provoked by xcode's use of the undocumented preprocessor option -header-mapfile. The gcc command line xcode generates looks something like this:

/usr/bin/gcc-3.3 -x c++ -arch ppc -pipe -Wno-trigraphs -fasm-blocks -fpascal-strings -g -O0 -mtune=G4 -Wno-four-char-constants -Wmost -Wno-four-char-constants -Wno-unknown-pragmas -O0 -fmessage-length=0 -ffix-and-continue -F/Users/lcampbel/Projects/MyProject/build -I/Users/lcampbel/Projects/MyProject/build/include -I/Users/lcampbel/build/common/include -I/Users/lcampbel/build/MyProject -I/Users/lcampbel/Projects/MyProject/build/MyProject.build/ MyProject.build/DerivedSources -Wp,-header-mapfile,/Users/lcampbel/Projects/MyProject/build/ MyProject.build/MyProject.build/MyProject.hmap -c /Users/lcampbel/build/MyProject/main.cc -o /Users/lcampbel/Projects/MyProject/build/MyProject.build/ MyProject.build/Objects-normal/ppc/main.o

I've found that if I just remove this:

-Wp,-header-mapfile,/Users/lcampbel/Projects/MyProject/build/ MyProject.build/MyProject.build/MyProject.hmap

from the command line, the problem goes away. So my questions are, (1) what is -header-mapfile supposed to do, (2) why does it break include path searching, and (3) how can I make it stop?
