Huh. This wasn't considered. I guess this is an issue.
In addition, it looks like a solution more like the conditionally-made
convenience library libmath is preferred, based on feedback from
Alexandre. I think his reasoning is sound.
So, something like a libc subdir, with strtoull.c and strtoll.c, with
libstdc++ compatible licenses?
