The prototype in libiberty.h disagrees with POSIX, which means it
disagrees with all systems other than a glibc system.  Thus confusion. 
The confusion is solved by pointing out the glibc quirk.  That was all I
was trying to do.

However, I don't think think this matters much.  As I said in the
earlier message, I think we should just use this for hpux anyways.
We change libiberty only when and if a problem arises, and I don't
expect one to arise.  The declarations in libiberty shouldn't be used if
there is a system declaration, so there shouldn't be a possibility of a
mismatch here unless there are configure problems.
