They are +system-specific, and will not work on any other kind of system. They +are also not part of GCC. The reason we have to do this is because +GCC requires ANSI C headers and many vendors supply ANSI-incompatible +headers. + +Because this is an automated process, sometimes headers get "fixed" +that do not, strictly speaking, need a fix. As long as nothing is broken +by the process, it is just an unfortunate collateral inconvenience. +We would like to rectify it, if it is not "too inconvenient". |
