Hi,

Glad to see this old cruft go away. Your patch looks good, except for:

- error.c and fnmatch.c which are shared with glibc and which
  according to your above reasoning you would like to exclude from
  the modernization?

- localcharset.c which is used in libintl, and libintl needs to
  maintain K&R C compatibility as long as the GCC sources maintain K&R C
  compatibility. So please could you drop the changes to
  localcharset.c and localcharset.m4 ?

Also I note that I had forgotten to check for limits.h in exclude.m4.
This bug was unnoticed and now goes away without having hurt anyone.
