 Sadly, this can't be fixed at the moment, at least on most platforms.
 For cross compilers using newlib, this was fixed some time back with the
 --enable-headers=c work done at the time of the QNX port. That is not
 the default configuration, however.
 
 One of the things blocking this is hardware, ie real access to
 up-to-date sun hardware with sunpro tools so I can see what is going on.
 The other issue is time: I don't have enough of it, and this is
 something I consider a lower priority than other issues. There were some
 patches in glibc-2.3.x that went in that may allow a more elegant
 solution for linux, but that work is not finished.
 
 best,
