It would be nice to have a header test suite for this kind of issue.
Basically, it would attempt compiling an otherwise-empty source file
for each system header, with each combination of feature test macros,
to check for errors in any of the cases. We could add -std=c89 to the
mix too if we want to check for c89-compatibility errors at the same
time...
