That's also reasonable, though I think it would be a good idea to revisit 
such pre-C99 APIs with different names in C99 in general, and consider 
obsoleting the pre-C99 names (more generally, __USE_MISC APIs may well be 
appropriate for obsoletion where there is a clear standard replacement 
even if not an exact alias).  (There are other cases of such pre-C99 names 
in glibc, e.g. strtoq.)
