Sorry I didn't pick this up before, but that FreeBSD thread was about
FreeBSD-CURRENT (what will shortly become FreeBSD 5.0), and not FreeBSD
4.4.  The -CURRENT issue has to do with the FreeBSD developers taking a
more stringent view of the interpretation of certain standards related
symbols, which affects what libc symbols are visible in the standard C
headers.
