Perhaps this seems a little opaque, so I'll describe the point:

gnumach/include is, essentially, a special /usr/include for use by the
kernel itself when compiling.  It only should get things which belong
in /usr/include.  The reason for <alloca.h> and <sys/types.h> is because
those are files found in /usr/include, even if on an actual installed
system the versions in /usr/include are provided by a different package.
