mcsim installs several headers with very generic names directly into the
top-level include directory, such as list.h, random.h, and most
problematically config.h. It is quite possible that another project may want
to include its own config.h but an -I flag for the top-level include directory
is earlier in the compile command than the project's own include directory so
it includes your config.h instead and fails. Please move all of your headers
into a subdirectory named after your project (e.g. mcsim/config.h), or prefix
their names with your project name (e.g. mcsim-config.h).
