The GNU coding standards specify the second form.
Therefore you should use the second form. It is not necessary

new ones should adhere to the standard.
If you want to update the old ones, that is best done via a
separate patch.

Because nobody's submitted them.
At this time, I would say wait until after the first release for
submitting changes to obstack.[ch]
