Including files from wrong directory

[LinuxSpawn]

Hi,

I'm trying to include a bunch of header files from the /usr/local/include directory that have the same name as header files in /usr/src/$(shell uname -r)/include. As far as I can tell, the (uname) directory is getting searched first (when I want the local directory searched first). In a makefile, I've tried using
obj-m += file1.o file2.o

EXTRA_CFLAGS = -nostdinc
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

as well as some other variants on the above. Could someone give me some advice to make sure the local directory gets searched first or, minimally, to see where I'm including each file from?

can you not speify a full path to the include files?

If not, I'd suggest looking in the PATH variable, and maybe altering the order of things, so that /usr/local/include comes before "."
