Sad, but true.  I wish it was stated better.

Seems to be true, so newlib and glibc have checks for __cplusplus define.
Alternative would be to provide 26 fake headers containing #include_next
directive, but it's not very portable solution.

Attached is the patch, which simply adds #ifndef __cplusplus around
macros.  At the end, it seems to be the right thing to do, although the
way it's defined is rather confusing.

Thanks,
Sergey
