wscanf_s is not c99
(it is in the optional annex k of c11, which is
likely to be removed from the standard)

that's ok to skip (complex become optional in c11)

these are not ok to skip from c99

these are optional c11 features

i think newlib should implement the missing c99 apis
otherwise don't expect any c99 optimizations
(and should be considered broken with -std=c99 or higher)
