That's right, in a clean world there would be no coupling on the  
compiler from /usr/include.  You can go flame glibc.  But, it really  
isn't quite their fault either, there are insane requirements pushed  
onto the `vendor' of the headers, and it was engineered to loose.  The  
gcc patch `hacks' around this coupling by preserving the magic  
(interal implementation detail) `interface' to the header file.
