[Bug libstdc++/35557] New: including <iostream> pulls symbols from unistd.h in global namespace

[arnaud dot boulan at esterel-technologies dot com]

While trying to compile this test program:

    // begin
    int write;
    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    { return 0; }
    // end

i got the following error message:

====================

this problem also happens with gcc 4.1.2

including <iostream> should not trigger the inclusion of unistd.h symbols in
global namespace.


the program compiles fine with gcc 3.2.3
