The question is: what do the glibc people want? By removing the gets prototype,
they are explicitly going against the C++ standard. Seems to me that libstdc++
should respect that choice (add a test in configure to see if gets is provided,
and protect "using ::gets;" with #ifdef) and not provide gets. The alternative
is to disagree with the glibc developers and fixinclude stdio.h.
