Subject: [PATCH] Try to autodetect the location of the clang standard
 libraries.

On some linuxes, /usr/include belongs to GCC and the standard
libraries that work with clang are in /usr/lib/clang/8.0.0 or
some variation thereof.

This results in errors such as:

```
/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.3.0/../../../../include/c++/8.3.0/bits/cxxabi_init_exception.h:38:10: fatal error: 'stddef.h' file not found

```

during extraction.
