The enclaves must be built with headers from a specific glibc version for the sake of reproducibility. It does not actually link to glibc, merely requiring a few self contained definitions. In the NixOS build env the glibc system include directories get set through various wrapper scripts NixOS creates.
When attempting a reproducible build outside of NixOS though, we can't rely on the compiler having the matching glibc system include dirs. Instead there needs to be a way to inject "-isystem/some/path" args into the enclave compiler flags.
This commit adds a "ENCLAVE_SYSTEM_INCLUDES" make var can be set by the person triggering 'make', to provide a way to inject system include directories to the enclave build process.
