             Bug #: 14824
           Summary: Functions removed from stdlib.h in 2008 wrongly
                    disabled for POSIX-2001+XSI
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.16
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org
                CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


The stdlib.h functions ecvt, fcvt, gcvt, mktemp were removed from stdlib.h in
the 2008 edition of POSIX; in 2001 they were present (when XSI extensions are
enabled) though marked LEGACY as an advance warning of removal.  stdlib.h
wrongly disables them for __USE_XOPEN2K (compare to valloc, which was present
in UNIX98 and removed in the 2001 edition, so is correctly disabled for
__USE_XOPEN2K).  This results in conformtest failures for these functions for
XOPEN2K.
