Sure it does.  For example, POSIX specifies that "#include
<sys/types.h>" should work.

But we are quibbling.  I don't think we should go through all GNU code,
or even some GNU code, worrying about this.  The hosts in question are
not of primary interest to the GNU project and are obsolescent to boot.

In this particular case, though, the fix seems easy, and I don't think
it'll hurt anything.

No.  It works as before, pretty much (there are some fixes).

Yes; please see my previous message.  I'd appreciate it if you'd test
its patch for C++.

Perhaps, but I wouldn't change the name now; it's not worth the hassle.
