In my .cshrc I have aliased gcc to 'gcc -I/u/mernst/bin/util'.  This causes
that directory to be searched for #include files.

However, when I do a compile with "gcc foo.c", that directory isn't
searched.  In compile.el, in the compile1 function, we see
  (setq compilation-process
	(start-process "compilation" "*compilation*"
		       shell-file-name
		       "-c" (concat "exec " command)))

The problem is that, while the alias is in effect in the shell, exec is the
first word of the command, and only it is alias-substituted against.  When
I remove this (making the last line
		       "-c" command))
), then the alias is no longer in effect in the shell, so I get the same
results as I did before.

How can I get the behavior I want?
					Thanks,
