Join the glibc-less club, brother.  :-)

These are almost the exact same problems that Solaris experiences.
(Although Sol8 doesn't even have a sys/cdefs.h anywhere.  And it defines
its own __P without checking for previous #definitions.)

I posted some truly ugly hacks to the list a few weeks back.  If you were
willing to disable wide character support, you could get a pseudo-working
Solaris build, useful for testing other things.  The patches were based
on bringing a sys/cdefs.h from a Linux box into the library and making
slight changes, which is probably not a viable solution.

I strongly suspect that solving these problems for either OS will fix most
of the problems for the other OS.
