Duplication comes from the fact that 3 entries in the manifest claim
these two variables: clang, gcc, and gcc:lib.

In this case all three search path specifications are identical, so this
is harmless.  Commit fa96048 fixes that.

To be complete, we should perhaps warn the user when different
specifications are given for the same variable.  That seems rather
unlikely, though.

Thanks for the report!
