I don't think so, but xtrace output from configure would verify.

Notice that it's "-I$OFED_BACKPORT_PATH" that we are adding to
$EXTRA_LNET_INCLUDE, not "-I$BACKPORT_INCLUDES". Further notice what
$OFED_BACKPORT_PATH actually is:
OFED_BACKPORT_PATH=`echo $BACKPORT_INCLUDES | sed "s#.*/src/ofa_kernel/#$O2IBPATH/#"`
Your patch failed to include enough context, but notice that configure
sources config.mk:
. $O2IBPATH/config.mk
and then uses the $BACKPORT_INCLUDES to derive an $OFED_BACKPORT_PATH
with a sed expression:
sed "s#.*/src/ofa_kernel/#$O2IBPATH/#"
Which would turn an example $BACKPORT_INCLUDES of
"-I/usr/src/ofa_kernel/kernel_addons/backport/2.6.18-EL5.3/include/"
into "foobar/kernel_addons/backport/2.6.18-EL5.3/include/" assuming
$O2IBPATH="foobar".
So as you can see, when adding $OFED_BACKPORT_PATH to gcc as an include
path, you need to prefix it with "-I".
Please do let me know if your experience is any different from my
explanation. Please include some xtrace output if so.
