 State-Changed-Why:
     Ugh. This can't be fixed without moving to the shadow headers:
     
     
     namespace swamp
     {
       extern "C"
       {
         extern char*
         strchr(const char *__s, int __c);
       }
     }
     
     namespace std
     {
       const char*
       strchr(const char* __s1, int __n)
       { return const_cast<const char*>(swamp::strchr(__s1, __n)); }
     
       char*
       strchr(char* __s1, int __n)
       { return swamp::strchr(const_cast<const char*>(__s1), __n); }
     }
     
     void f(const char* name)
     { 
       using namespace std;
       strchr(name, int('/')); 
     }
     
     This works, as long as you compile with -fno-builtin. 
     
     Regardless, the current implementation is incorrect, as this declaration doesn't exist:
      extern "C" const char* strchr(const char*, int); 
     
     should be
     
      extern "C" char* strchr(const char*, int);
