pass -D_POSIX_SOURCE or -D_ISOC99_SOURCE to your compiler, if you are using
glibc aswell. this will cause the glibc to behave either POSIX or ISO C99
conform.
(there are even more flags, you might want to look at the "NOTES" file in the
glibc doc directory...)

actually, there's a "-fno-builtin-function" option for gcc, but there's also
a note in the man-page about c++. there you can read, this option is 
always in effect for c++ source. 

good luck!
