Just a PSA:

My autotools project uses AM_SILENT_RULES and the indexer did not see -I directories until I disabled AM_SILENT_RULES.

Good point. I don't know what AM_SILENT_RULES does, but I assume it hides the build commands. We rely on scanner discovery which scans build output looking for compiler options. If we can't see the commands, we can't discover what the include path is.

It's probably worth raising a bug on the Autotools component (which comes from the Linux Tools project, BTW). They may be able to scan the autotools files looking for options as well.
