Obligatory sidenote, I had not have to make any changes when compiling on
FreeBSD and I doubt NetBSD or OpenBSD need any either.

Basically you need the path to the operating system's base header/include
files.

If you have GCC installed you can easily get the list of built-in paths, which
are supposed to be one of the saner things, by executing the 'touch empty.c &&
gcc -v empty.c -fsyntax-only' command.

The "..." and <...> mentions refer to include resolving as explained in 6.10.2
of c99.

In short:

<...> refers to a sequence of implementation-defined places to look for the
header. "..." refers to an implementation-defined manner, or failing that or
being absent, switches to what's used for <...>.
