Indeed.

As I argued earlier, if C++ leaves "C" headers as they are, they would
just work fine; we would not concerne ourselves with fiddling with the
inner details (which does not buy us anything anyway).

On my machine

    #include <math.h>

    int main()
    {
       float (*f)(float) = &cosf;
    }

works fine with g++.
