One of the purposes of the fileio package is to abstract the implementation 
without being implementation specific, so this patch wouldn't be quite 
right as specific packages shouldn't be mentioned (yes there are already 
some exceptions but that's because I didn't put them there :-)).

But in any case if you look a few lines further up in the file, you'll the 
real problem is that something must be defining  (or rather implementing) 
CYGINT_ISO_STDIO_POSIX_FDFUNCS despite the implementation not being there.

The only implementor of this is CYGPKG_LIBC_STDIO_OPEN, which indeed 
doesn't do the right thing because looking at the code in 
language/c/libc/stdio/current/src/common/fopen.cxx it also depends on 
CYGPKG_LIBC_STDIO_FILEIO.

So the correct fix which I've checked in is:
