I just tried three compilers and [in absence of -I options] all 3 work
as expected, i.e. ignored stdio.h in current directory. 
None of the three was of the variety that you appear to prefer.
Mine's are mundane stuff.

However all three took local file when I had given them an option -I. 
Not sure what to make of this. Whatever happens with
non-default options is probably in "implementation-defined"
domain as far as the C Standard is concerned, but I still
expected that such common option as  -I would not affect standard
headers.
