Well, not really, I inspected all candidate locations based on
find/grep output.  I did not consider whether a region of headers was
actively used.  Sorry to get hopes up.

OK, _DYNAMIC it is.

Testsuite results improved the way I expected.  Regarding lldiv_t, the
issue is that the system headers just don't expose the type unless
macros are set "right".

Yes, the _DYNAMIC macros are effectively set to 1 when the library is
built.  I will document that as a requirement.

Well, as usual, active need is the mother of invention. ;-)

I will post/commit a final, tested form with Phil's and your input.

Thanks,
