 	Yes, this is a bug, but this is not a *GCC* bug.
 
 	GCC *does not* provide its own stdio.h.  GCC "fixes" many system
 headers, including stdio.h.  Possibly GCC should modify the logic of these
 macros, but the original stdio.h in AIX is the one with the conflicting
 declarations.  One needs to look at the manual for use of the macros.
 Possibly the bug is the GNU sed configuration for choosing to define both
 macros.
 
 	Yes, there is a bug, but GCC did not create the conflicting
 declarations, so GCC is not the source of the bug.  Just because the error
 message lists the GCC installation directory in the path does not mean
 that GCC is responsible.
