There are C comments that both Doxygen and Clang recognize well,
equally well to C++ comments.

But I don't think that a change is necessary here.  The reason is that
these are compiler-internal header files, so they will only be ever
parsed by Clang.  No matter which mode Clang is in, it supports
//-style comments, either as a part of the language, or as an
extension, I believe.

While it is true that a pure c89 compiler won't be able to parse these
headers, we are not concerned about these builtin headers used by any
compiler other than Clang.
