The testsuite considers it "a bug" because, 'til today we worked under the assumption that the supported targets don't change the C headers depending on the C++ compiler being used ...
This assumption is, I believe, violated by Sun, HP, and Microsoft,
all of which ship headers with "if C++" constructs in them.

I see, I try not to inspect daily such headers... ;)

In any case, as far as I'm concerned, certainly I'm not against sophisticated changes in that area, assuming there are demonstrable benefits. Only, let's wait for DR 456 to get a final, complete, resolution (which, of course, will deal also with strchr and such).
